Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

Uncommon Tumor

Adrenocortical carticnoma (ACC) is an uncommon tumor with an incidence of 1-2 cases/million/year. It has two peak incidences; the first one in the first decade and the second one in the fourth decade. Most patients present with features of steroid hormone excess or abdominal mass effects, but about 15% of ACC are diagnosed incidentally. It is hormonally functional in 80 - 100% patients and the predisposing lesions include congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adenoma. ACC has significant syndromic and genetic association. Surgery offers the best chance of cure, especially in localized disease. Here, we present the case of virilization in a young female child secondary to a functioning ACC. The child had classical hormonal and imaging features of functioning ACC and underwent resection of the tumor (Adrenalectomy) with good outcome.

Abstract Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma is an uncommon tumor found exclusively in women. Herein, we describe a patient who had resection of a large retroperitoneal cystic mass. Histologic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic examination of the lining epithelial cells showed features of mesothelial cells in addition to ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. These findings suggest that these tumors arise from inclusions of mesothelial cells and subsequent mucinous metaplasia of the lining cells to form a cystadenoma. Estrogen receptors may be implicated in tumor promotion, explaining the occurrence exclusively in women.

Uncommon Tumor

Urachal carcinoma is an uncommon tumor, with a poor prognosis. The most common histological type is adenocarcinoma, which may produce mucus. The symptoms aren't specific, such as hematuria or abdominal mass. Diagnosis can be made endoscopically with a biopsy or by echography and above all by computerized tomography. The treatment of choice is cystectomy with lymphadenectomy or segmental resection of the bladder to. The Authors refer to a patient with urachal carcinoma, stage IIIA involving the bladder.
