title: Congenital apocrine tumour: a rare scalp tumour.
abstract: We report a rare congenital scalp tumour with histological diagnosis of a congenital apocrine adenoma with features of a tubular adenoma. Following cranial CT and MRI, the tumour was serially excised. The macroscopic and microscopic appearances and management are discussed. To our knowledge, such a case has not been previously reported.
