Recurrent clear cell hidradenoma of the foot.
BACKGROUND
Clear cell hidradenoma is an uncommon neoplasm without established optimal treatment.


OBJECTIVE
Using Mohs micrographic surgery, a recurrent clear cell hidradenoma of the right foot was treated.


METHODS
Case report and literature review.


RESULTS
Two stages of Mohs micrographic surgery and subsequent repair successfully treated the recurrent clear cell hidradenoma. No recurrence of the neoplasm has been observed at 11 months follow-up.


CONCLUSIONS
Optimal treatment of clear cell hidradenoma is unestablished. Adequate primary local excision is essential. Mohs micrographic surgery should be considered for treatment, especially on recurrent tumors in critical locations.
