Abstract

Papillary eccrine adenoma is a rare benign sweat gland tumor. Surgical excision with assurance of complete removal by histologic examination of the surgical margins and regular case follow up are considered the treatment of choice. We report a case of papillary eccrine adenoma presented at an uncommon location thus the diagnosis was aided by histopathological findings.
