Highlights
- •Hidradenocarcinoma poses a diagnostic challenge in differentiating it from its benign counterpart, hidradenoma.
- •Specific MRI signs in this novel case report helped facilitate an accurate diagnosis of hidradenocarcinoma.
- •MRI has a potential role for improving the diagnostic accuracy of hidradenocarcinoma.
Abstract
Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive cancer arising from sweat glands. Hidradenocarcinoma
has no definitive histologic features compared to its benign hidradenoma, thereby
posing a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists. This novel case report
demonstrates specific MRI signs that suggested malignant degeneration of hidradenoma.
