Abstract
Hydrocystoma is a benign tumor whose development involves the sudoriferous eccrine or apocrine glands. We report the case of a giant apocrine hydrocystoma in a 70-year-old female diabetic patient. The tumor's natural progression over 10Â years and its volume caused significant functional and aesthetic damage. This article discusses the radiological, clinical, anatomopathological, and therapeutic aspects of this tumor. The case is original in the tumor's location, size, and its double visual and lachrymal functional involvement as well as its aesthetic damage.
