Abstract

Eccrine spiradenoma is an uncommon benign adnexal tumour. Though its histopathology is well established, there are only very few case reports describing its cytomorphology. We are reporting one such rare case of recurrent swelling in back. Cytological features were suggestive of benign appendage tumour of eccrine differentiation, possibly eccrine spiradenoma. This case report is being presented for its rare description in the literature.
