. The microscopic appearances of vulval hidroadenoma are described. Differential diagnostic problems are discussed, emphasizing in particular the possibility of confusing this tumour with epidermoid carcinoma. One such case is reported. It is stressed that hidroadenoma is a benign tumour to be treated by wide local excision, unlike the malignant tumours which require total vulvectomy with dissection of the lymph nodes.
