Abstract

Eccrine spiradenoma is a rare benign tumor originating from sweat glands. Its sonographic characteristics have been described in only a few reports, and there is no such report available that describes sonoelastographic findings of this tumor. In this case report, we aimed to define the sonographic and sonoelastographic findings of a benign eccrine spiradenoma.

Keywords: Eccrine spiradenoma; Sonoelastography; Ultrasonography.
