Due to cystic nature the neoplasm it can masquerade as cystic lesion. Case Presentation :We present a case of a middle-aged Asian female who complaint of a slightly mobile lump in the left breast. The clinical suspicion of fibroadenoma was made, and the lesion was excised. The histopathological features were of nodular hidradenoma. The three years follow-up was uneventful. Conclusions: Nodular hidradenoma is rare in the breast and lacks characteristic clinical and radiological features. They share similar features as reported elsewhere in the body.
