Abstract

Malignant nodular hidradenoma is a rare skin appendageal tumor, and its imaging findings have not been previously described. We experienced the case of a large malignant nodular hidradenoma of the left upper arm in a 71-year-old woman. MRI revealed a large, lobular, poorly circumscribed, soft tissue mass at the left upper arm, and the mass showed homogeneous enhancement. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed hypermetabolic activity in the left upper arm mass with a maximal standard uptake value of 19.
