Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas, a rare condition, present a treatment challenge. Topical atropine showed potential for cyst shrinkage in a patient with over 100 lesions and hyperhidrosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eccrine hidrocystomas are typically solitary, asymptomatic skin lesions.
  • Multiple hidrocystomas are rare and linked to eccrine ductal dilatation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with over 100 eccrine hidrocystomas and severe hyperhidrosis.
  • Systemic treatments failed to alleviate the patient's hyperhidrosis.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemistry can differentiate solitary from multiple hidrocystomas.
  • Topical atropine demonstrated cyst shrinkage in the observed patient.
  • Topical atropine may be a viable treatment for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas.

Implications:

  • Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas pose a significant therapeutic challenge.

  • Topical atropine offers a potential treatment avenue for recalcitrant multiple hidrocystomas.
  • Further research into topical atropine for hidrocystomas and associated hyperhidrosis is warranted.
