Abstract
Apocrine hidrocystomas (AHC) are uncommon cystic lesions of apocrine glands
and are most often solitary. They are usually found in the head and neck region.
Multiple AHC have been rarely reported in the literature usually in the eyelids
and face. On extensive search of literature, we came across only a single case
report of multiple axillary AHC. We report a case of a 31-year-old female who
presented with fullness and discomfort in bilateral axillae, so a clinical diagnosis of
bilateral accessory breast was made. However on histopathological examination,
it turned out to be bilateral multiple AHC associated with apocrine hyperplasia.
