Abstract

Eccrine hidrocystoma is small, translucent, smooth, shiny and often bluish colored, domeshaped cystic structure that occurs most often in a periobital area. The histologic finding of an intradermal cyst with a thin wall composed of two layers of eosinophilic-staining cuboidal cells in dilated eccrine glandular & ductal sturcture.
