    Malignant hidroacanthoma simplex, a rare skin cancer, can arise from benign tumors and metastasize. This case highlights the importance of monitoring for lymph node involvement after initial treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Hidroacanthoma simplex is a benign adnexal tumor.
    • Malignant transformation of hidroacanthoma simplex is rare.
    • Understanding the malignant potential is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of malignant hidroacanthoma simplex is presented.
    • Histological analysis showed malignant cells originating from a benign tumor nest.
    • Invasion into the dermis was observed.

    Findings:

    • The malignant cells exhibited features of eccrine sweat duct differentiation.
    • A groin lymph node metastasis was detected 2 years and 7 months post-excision.
    • Metastatic cells were histologically similar to the primary thigh lesion.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for hidroacanthoma simplex to metastasize.
    • Regular follow-up is essential for early detection of recurrence or metastasis.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of malignant hidroacanthoma simplex is warranted.
