Signs and Symptoms

The primary symptom of papillary hidradenoma is the presence of a solitary, well-circumscribed nodule that is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. The nodule is usually painless and may be found in the anogenital region, although it can also occur in other areas of the body.<ref>

Causes

The exact cause of papillary hidradenoma is unknown. However, it is believed to originate from the apocrine sweat glands, which are found in the anogenital region and other areas of the body.<ref>

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of papillary hidradenoma is typically made through a biopsy of the nodule. The biopsy will show a well-circumscribed tumor with papillary structures and tubular formations.<ref>

Treatment

The primary treatment for papillary hidradenoma is surgical excision. This is typically curative, as the tumor is benign and does not typically recur after removal.<ref>
