Summary
Solid-cystic hidradenoma, a benign skin tumor, rarely presents on lower extremities. This report details a unique case of a pigmented nodular hidradenoma on the ankle, emphasizing diagnostic challenges.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pathology
Background:
- Solid-cystic hidradenoma (SCH) is a benign cutaneous neoplasm.
- Typically affects middle-aged to older adults on the head, neck, trunk, and upper extremities.
Observation:
- Presents a rare case of a pigmented nodular hidradenoma on the ankle of a 53-year-old male.
- This location and presentation are uncommon for SCH.
Findings:
- Nodular hidradenomas can mimic other skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma.
- Histopathological analysis is crucial for accurate diagnosis of this eccrine tumor.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering SCH in the differential diagnosis of lower extremity lesions.
- Contributes to the limited English literature on atypical presentations of solid-cystic hidradenoma.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

2.1K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

204
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...
