Abstract

Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign soft tissue tumor arising from sweat glands. Their occurence in extremities is quite rare. Patient presented with a mass lesion is his left proximal forearm. Significant bleeding from the mass occured in incisional biopsy and results were inconclusive so excision of the mass with 2 cm borders and frozen sampling was planned. Patient was diagnosed with an eccrine spiradenoma. Even though eccrine spiradenoma is a benign condition, awareness of the entity is beneficial and time saving during differentials. According to our experience when incisional biopsy is inconclusive, preparation for total excision and frozen sectioning is the standard of care. Malignant transition must be kept in mind during pathological examination.
