Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Apocrine glands are specialized scent glands found in specific body areas, including modified forms in the ear, eyelid, and breast.
  • These glands mature and become functional at puberty, with tumors involving only apocrine tissue being exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • The study presents an unusual bilateral case of benign apocrine nevi located in the axilla.
  • Apocrine nevi are infrequently reported in medical literature.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the occurrence of benign apocrine nevi, a rare dermatological finding.
  • Bilateral presentation in the axilla underscores the uncommon nature of this condition.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited existing literature on benign apocrine nevi.
