Abstract
- Clear cell hidradenoma is a relatively rare benign cutaneous tumor. Treatment of choice is surgical excision but there have been some reports in Korea of recurrence of clear cell hidradenoma after surgical excision. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with recurrent clear cell hidradenoma which recurred twice on her left anterior thigh. The first lesion was noticed 8 years ago and excised surgically 6 years ago. Three years after the operation, the lesion recurred on the operation site and was excised again. But 3 months ago the lesion appeared again, so we performed wide, complete excision and made a diagnosis of clear cell hidradenoma.
