Abstract
Mammary-like gland adenoma (hidradenoma papilliferum) is a rare benign tumor arising from mammary-like anogenital glands. The etiology is unknown, but these tumors are the most common vulvar adnexal lesion. The lesions are often asymptomatic slow-growing nodules that do not require treatment but should be excised or biopsied if there are concerning features for malignancy.
