Abstract :
A 37-year-old male presented with a six-month
history of swelling in the left inguinal region, which had
gradually increased in size and became painful in the last
five days. Clinical examination revealed a spherical, cystic
swelling with no signs of systemic infection. A provisional
diagnosis of an infected sebaceous cyst or lipoma was
considered. Surgical excision was performed, and
histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of
hidradenoma, a rare benign adnexal tumour of apocrine
sweat glands. The case highlights the importance of
considering hidradenoma in the differential diagnosis of
inguinal masses and ensuring complete excision to
minimize recurrence risk.
