Abstract
A 14-year-old girl presented with a multiple and recurrent swellings on her right axilla. Based on histological features of the excised tumor, a diagnosis of nodular hidradenoma was made. Very few cases of hidradenoma have been documented in pediatric age group. This case demonstrates that when a child develops a skin nodule, nodular hidradenoma can be a diagnostic option.
