title: Pigmented apocrine hidrocystoma--a report of two cases and review of the literature. off.
abstract: Two cases of pigmented apocrine hidrocystoma in two women aged 47 and 60 years are reported. In both patients the lesion was located in the temporal region. Histopathological examination did not show the nature of the pigment present in both lesions. It is suggested that the pigmentation observed clinically is due to the Tyndall phenomenon.
