Abstract:

A 73-year-old man developed a skin-colored granule-sized papule on the scrotum 10 years prior to the presentation, which had increased in size and number without obvious symptoms. Histopathological examination showed multiple enlarged intradermal cysts. The cyst wall consisted of one or two layers of flat or columnar cells. Decapitation secretion was seen in the inner layer cells, and the out layer of cysts was formed by flat or cubic myoepithelial cells. A diagnosis of apocrine hidrocystoma of the scrotum is made.

Key words: pathology diagnosis.
