Implication

Case report reports complete excision of a rare chest wall nodular hidradenoma in a child, highlighting the necessity of considering benign adnexal tumors in pediatric superficial masses.

Key Points

To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and surgical management of a rare nodular hidradenoma occurring on the chest wall of a pediatric patient.
Clinical and radiological evaluation of a 9-year-old female presenting with an enlarging, discolored midline chest wall mass using ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced MRI.
Complete surgical excision with clear margins and complex reconstructive closure performed in collaboration with plastic surgery.
Histopathologic analysis of the resected tissue followed by surveillance at 1 year post-resection.
Preoperative MRI characterized a 1.9 x 2.8 cm well-circumscribed, T1 isointense, T2 hyperintense subcutaneous lesion with early arterial enhancement and without sternal invasion.
Histopathologic examination confirmed a benign solid-cystic nodular hidradenoma composed of monomorphous clear epithelial cells without atypical features.
Complete surgical resection achieved negative margins with no evidence of tumor recurrence at the 1-year follow-up.
