The lesion is usually single and commonly seen over the face or scalp. It rarely involves the genitalia and if ever seen, then it occurs in foreskin followed by the shaft of the penis. AH commonly affects adults with equal gender incidence. Histopathological confirmation is done by the presence of cystic spaces in the dermis lined by bilaminar epithelium, outer myoepithelial cells and inner columnar, and eosinophilic cells with basally positioned nuclei, and often prominent apical snouts are also noted. It should be differentiated from other cystic lesions over the penile shaft. The treatment of choice is the complete excision. To date, only 13 cases of genital AH have been reported. Among that, very few cases have been reported over the penile shaft. Herein, we emphasize the importance of considering the differential diagnosis of the cystic lesion over the penile shaft.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijt.ijt_76_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,19]],"date-time":"2025-04-19T02:00:13Z","timestamp":1745028013000},"page":"52-54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Apocrine Hidrocystoma: A Rare Benign Cystic Skin Tumor at Uncommon Site"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Sushma","family":"Bharti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jyotsna Naresh","family":"Bharti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Madhubala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prabin","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250428","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"274","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1964.01600030024005","article-title":"Apocrine cystadenoma;a clinicopathologic study with special reference to the pigmented variety","volume":"90","author":"Mehregan","year":"1964","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"R2-20250428","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"912","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0560.2007.00757.x","article-title":"Apocrine cystadenoma and apocrine hidrocystoma:Examination of 21 cases with emphasis on nomenclature according to proliferative features","volume":"34","author":"Sugiyama","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Cutan Pathol"},{"key":"R3-20250428","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"800","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2008.03.008","article-title":"Apocrine hidrocystoma on glans penis of a child","volume":"73","author":"Samplaski","year":"2009","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R4-20250428","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.13738","article-title":"Surgical management of apocrine hidrocystoma on the penile shaft","volume":"57","author":"Nitzsche","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Dermatol"},{"key":"R5-20250428","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.5021\/ad.2019.31.4.442","article-title":"Apocrine hidrocystoma on the penis:Report of a case and review of the previous cases","volume":"31","author":"Jo","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ann Dermatol"},{"key":"R6-20250428","first-page":"651","article-title":"Apocrine hidrocystoma of the foreskin.
