Abstract:
Apocrine hidrocystomas (HCs) are cystic lesions that arise from the apocrine secretory coil. Here we report a rare case of Giant apocrine hidrocystoma of the anal region, for which an excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologically, the lesion was a unilocular cyst lined by bi-layered epithelium with inner columnar cell showing decapitation secretions. Based on histopathological findings, diagnosis of apocrine HCs was given. Here we present it for its rarity.
