Abstract

Apocrine hidrocystomas are cystic bening tumors ofthe skin arising from secretory component of theapocrine sweat glands and usually occur solitary in thehead and neck region especially around the eye, nearthe medial canthus. External ear involvement is veryrare. These lesions may be translucent or colored. Inthis article, 43-years old female patient with slowlydeveloping dark brown colored lesion on left anti-helixof the auricle is presented. Lesion was excised with thesuspicion of melanotic lesion. Histopathologic analysiswas reported as apocrine hidrocystoma. Althoughapocrine hidrocystomas are benign, they should bediffer from melanotic malign lesions because some ofthem are colored. Complete excision and primarilyclosure of the skin usually sufficient for the treatment.

Özet

Apokrin hidrokistomalar, cildin apokrin ter bezlerinin sekretuar bölümünden kaynaklanan benign kistik tümörleridir. Genellikle soliterdir ve baş boyun bölgesinde özellikle göz çevresinde medial kantus yakınında görülürler. Dış kulak tutulumu oldukça nadirdir. Bu lezyonlar şeffaf veya renkli olabilirler. Bu makalede, sol auriküla antiheliks bölgesinde yavaş büyüyen koyu kahverenkli lezyonu olan 43 yaşında kadın olgu sunulmuştur.Lezyon, melanotik lezyon şüphesiyle eksize edilmiştir.Histopatolojik inceleme sonucu apokrin hidrokistoma olarak raporlanmıştır. Apokrin hidrokistomalar bening lezyonlardır ancak bazılarının renkli olması nedeniyle malign melanotik lezyonlardan ayırt edilmelidirler. Tam eksizyon ve primer kapama, tedavide genellikle yeterlidir.
