Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas in a young woman were linked to undiagnosed Graves' disease. Treatment of the thyroid condition resolved both the skin lesions and systemic symptoms, highlighting an important association.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Eccrine hidrocystomas are benign cystic tumors of the sweat glands.
  • Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder causing hyperthyroidism.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old woman presented with periorbital and malar translucent papules.
  • Histology confirmed eccrine hidrocystoma.
  • Physical examination revealed goiter, finger tremor, and hyperhidrosis, indicative of Graves' disease.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with Graves' disease.
  • Treatment for Graves' disease led to the resolution of both the skin lesions and hyperthyroid symptoms.
  • Carcinoembryonic antigen positivity was noted in the cystic epithelial cells.

Implications:

  • Graves' disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas.
  • This case suggests a potential link between thyroid dysfunction and the development of eccrine hidrocystomas.
  • Successful management of hyperthyroidism can resolve associated dermatological manifestations.
