“…23,27-31 Spontaneous resolution has been reported. 23 Although a clear distinction between eccrine nevi and the lesions of idiopathic localized unilateral hyperhidrosis may not be apparent upon casual review of reported cases, the current authors consider them as separate entities. While the presence of hypertrophy or hyperplasia of eccrine glands is considered to be integral to the designation of a lesion as an eccrine nevus, [9][10][11] cases of hyperhidrosis with hypertrophy have been included in re- ports of idiopathic lesions.…”

“…The pathogenesis of this entity is unknown. The only abnormalities found were an increased responsiveness to cholinergic stimuli, [21][22][23][24][25] and hypertrophy of the glands on biopsy, 20,21,24 although many showed a normal response to cholinergic stimuli 26 or a normal biopsy. 23,27-31 Spontaneous resolution has been reported.…”

“…Less than 50 cases have been reported in the world literature. In other cases, focal hyperhidrosis is caused by a functional hamartoma with sweat glands in the affected area being excessively sensitive 1. In daily clinic, the extent of a hyperhidrotic skin area can be visualised by the iodine–starch test (Minor’s test) used to evaluate sudomotor function: an iodine solution is applied to the affected skin area.…”

A 14-year-old girl and a 30-year-old woman presented with localised hyperhidrosis on the dorsal hand and wrist, respectively, provoked by different stimuli such as physical activity and minor trauma to the skin. The skin was seemingly normal in both patients where an iodine-starch test revealed a well-demarcated area of hyperhidrosis. Following histopathological examination, the diagnosis was unilateral localised hyperhidrosis in both cases; one with normal histology and one with a nevus sudoriferous. Both patients were successfully treated with botulinum toxin type A. The 30-year-old woman additionally used low-dose propantheline bromide periodically and experienced long-term remission on this therapy. Hyperhidrosis may embarrass and interfere with patients' school and careers, and it is therefore important to tailor an effective individual treatment.

“…Localized hyperhydrosis (LH) occurring symmetrically on the palms, soles and/or armpits is an ordinary and idiopathic disorder which represents a complex dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system 1,2 . It occurs very rarely on the body unilaterally or lesionally 3–17 . Occasionally, a craniofacial involvement occurs secondary to selective serotonin reuptake blockers 18 .…”

Hyperhidrosis is the most common type of sweat gland disorder. It may be localized or generalized. The localized type usually occurs in a symmetrical fashion over the palms, soles and armpits as a response to emotional stimuli. Another form of the localized type is idiopathic localized unilateral hyperhidrosis which is very rare and the etiopathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we report a female patient who had localized crossed hyperhidrotic areas on her body (on the left side of the scalp, face and the shoulder and on the right side of the trunk) and also had thyroid gland disease. We herein discuss this extremely rare presentation of the disease and its association with thyroid gland disease.
