Abstract
AbstractGiant vascular eccrine spiradenoma (GVES) is an uncommon type of eccrine spiradenoma (ES). Compared to an ES, this is characterized by a greater degree of vascularity and a bigger size overall. In clinical practice, it is frequently mistaken for a vascular or malignant tumor. To achieve an accurate diagnosis of GVES via biopsy and successfully perform the surgical removal of a cutaneous lesion in the left upper abdomen compatible with GVES. We present a 61-year-old female with the lesion accompanied by on-and-off pain, bloody discharge and skin changes surrounding the mass treated surgically. However, there was no fever, weight loss, trauma or family history of malignancy or cancer managed by surgical excision. The patient recovered well postoperatively and was discharged on the same day with a 2-week follow-up. The wound got healed, the clips were removed on Day 7 postoperatively, and there was no requirement for further follow-up.
