Nodular hidradenoma was diagnosed in a 29-month-old girl on her axilla. Hidradenoma, sometimes designated as acrospiroma, is a benign sweat gland neoplasm, which mostly occurs in adults. Very few cases of hidradenoma have been documented in children in their first decade of life. This case demonstrates that when a child develops a skin nodule, nodular hidradenoma can be a diagnostic option.
