SUMMARY The clinicopathological features of a case of mctastatic malignant clear cell hidradenoma (MCCH) occurring in a 72‐year‐old black male are reported. Unusual features of the case included the location of the tumour on the posterior trunk, the probable origination of the tumour from a benign appendageal tumour, and the occurrence of a bullous eruption immediately after surgical removal of the tumour. Clinicopathological aspects of MCCH are reviewed and treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, are discussed.
