Recurrent clear cell hidradenoma of the foot.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Clear cell hidradenoma is an uncommon neoplasm without established optimal treatment.

OBJECTIVE:

Using Mohs micrographic surgery, a recurrent clear cell hidradenoma of the right foot was treated.

METHODS:

Case report and literature review.

RESULTS:

Two stages of Mohs micrographic surgery and subsequent repair successfully treated the recurrent clear cell hidradenoma. No recurrence of the neoplasm has been observed at 11 months follow-up.

CONCLUSION:

Optimal treatment of clear cell hidradenoma is unestablished. Adequate primary local excision is essential. Mohs micrographic surgery should be considered for treatment, especially on recurrent tumors in critical locations.
