Perianal nodule in a young woman

Background Hidradenoma papilliferum is a rare benign neoplasm arising from apocrine glands. It occurs commonly on the anogenital region of middle-aged women. It usually presents as a slow growing, solitary asymptomatic, skin colored or red nodule less than 1 cm in diameter. Case presentation The case is a 38-year-old, white woman who presented with a painful nodule occurring within a month in the himenal region of the posterior vaginal introitus. The nodule was excisied and the histology revealed a hidradenoma papilliferum. The diagnosis and treatment of hidradenoma papilliferum is possible with surgical removal and histopathological evaluation of nodules. Conclusion When an adult woman presents with a noduler lesion in the anogenital area, sexually transmitted diseases and other benign and malignant vulvar lesions, as well as malignant transformation is very rare but,should be kept in mind; however because it has been reported and long-term clinical follow-up is suggested

Hidradenoma papilliferum is a rare, benign apocrine tumour that occurs almost exclusively in the anogenital region of middle aged women. Here, we present a case of a 28-year-old married female presenting with asymptomatic, erythematous nodule over left labia majora mimicking pyogenic granuloma. A surgical excision was done and histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of hidradenoma papilliferum.
