Abstract: A 37-year-old male presented with a six-month history of swelling in the left inguinal region, which had gradually increased in size and became painful in the last five days. Clinical examination revealed a spherical, cystic swelling with no signs of systemic infection. A provisional diagnosis of an infected sebaceous cyst or lipoma was considered. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hidradenoma, a rare benign adnexal tumour of apocrine sweat glands. The case highlights the importance of considering hidradenoma in the differential diagnosis of inguinal masses and ensuring complete excision to minimize recurrence risk.
