Abstract
Clear cell hidradenoma, a benign tumor of sweat gland, presented as a breast lump with ulceration of overlying skin in an elderly woman. Fai lure to identify its cytological features led to a wrong diagnosis of breast carcinoma on fine-needle aspiration of the lump. Retrospective review of cytology revealed the presence of many clear cells amidst po lygonal tumor cells, but no tubular lumina were seen. Accurate diagnos is remains a problem.
