Papillary poroid hidradenoma is a very rare entity which belongs to poroid neoplasms, which represents 10% of sudoriferous tumours. It can be easily misdiagnosed as a malignant neoplasm. A 34-years-old male presented with an asymptomatic mass over the right chest wall, below the nipple, of 18 months duration. Clinical examination revealed tense cystic swelling which revealed hypoechoic and solid components on imaging. Clinically, a malignancy was suspected and a surgical excision was done. Histology and immunoreactivity to pan cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and carcino- embryonic antigen confirmed the diagnosis. We are reporting this case because of the rarity of its presentation.
