RESUMO
Aim: This study examines the clinical and pathological characteristics, immune profile, histological occurrence, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of vulvar hidradenoma papilliferum. Methods: An analysis was conducted on clinical data, histological patterns, and immunohistochemical findings from 45 cases of vulvar hidradenoma papilliferum, and relevant published articles were reviewed. Simultaneously, high-risk HPV typing was performed on these 45 cases. Results: The 45 cases of vulvar hidradenoma papilliferum displayed tumor sizes ranging from 0.3 to 2.0 cm and were observed to be pink or red in appearance. Vacuolated cytoplasm, large abnormal nuclei, distinct nucleoli, and scattered eosinophilic luminal secretions were observed in the glands. Positive staining for CK7 and progesterone receptor (PR) with focal mammaglobin and GCDFP-15 expression was found through immunohistochemistry. CK20 staining was noted as negative. Conclusion: Hidradenoma papilliferum is a rare benign tumor that originates in secretory glands. The diagnosis of this condition is aided by gross and immunohistochemical results, and differentiation from other conditions is necessary.
