Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Apocrine hidrocystomas are benign cystic tumors originating from apocrine sweat glands.
  • These lesions commonly occur on the face, particularly around the eyelids.
  • While typically solitary, this case presents multiple distinct lesions.

Purpose:

  • To report a rare case of multiple apocrine hidrocystomas affecting the eyelids.
  • To highlight the atypical presentation of multiple lesions in contrast to the usual solitary nature of apocrine hidrocystoma.
  • To discuss the successful surgical management of this condition.

Summary:

  • A single case of multiple apocrine hidrocystomas localized to the eyelids is described.
  • The presentation of multiple lesions is emphasized as unusual, given the generally solitary occurrence of apocrine hidrocystoma.
  • Surgical treatment was performed, yielding excellent results.

Impact:

  • This case expands the understanding of apocrine hidrocystoma presentation, particularly its potential for multifocal occurrence.
  • It underscores the importance of considering multiple lesions in the differential diagnosis of eyelid cysts.
  • The successful surgical outcome suggests that prompt intervention is a viable and effective treatment strategy for multiple apocrine hidrocystomas.
