Abstract
An apocrine hidrocystoma occurring on the finger of a 55-year-old man is reported. The lesion presented as a solitary, painless cystic nodul e on the dorsal aspect of the middle phalanx of the index finger. Apoc rine hidrocystoma is a benign tumour developed from apocrine sweat gla nds, but the location of the lesion was, however, not consistent with reported locations of apocrine glands in the adult.
