Apocrine Hidrocystoma: A Candelabrum of the Eye – A Case Report

Hidrocystomas are apocrine gland proliferations of the skin that are fluid filled and benign in nature. Two main types are recognised, namely apocrine and eccrine hidrocystoma, identified based on histological findings. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, although various other modalities exist with varying success rates. We report a case of apocrine hidrocystoma, which is uncommonly reported, for which surgical excision gave good clinical and cosmetic outcomes.
