| Summary: | Introduction: Eccrine Spiradenoma is a rare connective
tissue tumor arising from the dermis of well differentiated
eccrine sweat gland. It is considered benign nature,
nonetheless, reported malignant cases are extremely
rare. The most common presentation symptom is localized
intradermal swelling and complete surgical excision is the
gold standard in managing these cases.
Aim: This case report is undertaken to document a rare
case of adnexal tumor of head and neck as well as sharing
our experience to peer medical practitioners.
Case study: We present a case of a 68-year-old lady,
presented to a tertiary medical centre with a localized
nodular right posterior neck swelling for the past 10 years,
which underwent complete excision.
Results and discussion: Following complete surgical
excision and thorough surveillance, there is no evidence of
recurrence and malignant transformation.
Conclusions: Eccrine Spiradenoma is an extremly rare
adnexal tumor that could involve head and neck, with
reported cases of recurrence and malignant transformation
that need to be closely observed and intervened should it
present. |
