Abstract

A rare benign tumor of the perianal region which needs to be differentiated from other perianal diseases is Hidradenoma papilliferum or papillary hidradenoma. It originates from the apocrine glands or anogenital mammary glands [1,2]. Hence, hidradenoma papilliferum is a pathologic finding, with anal hidradenoma papilliferum being its rarest form. Diagnosis is rarely made clinically and is almost exclusively done by histopathology. Herein, we present a case of 42 year old male patient presenting with painful anal lump which was excised and histopathologic examination showing anal hidradenoma papilliferum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third case to be reported in the English medical literature for anal papillary hidradenoma in male patient.
