Prognosis
Complete surgical excision is recommended, and the prognosis is excellent. 1 This tumour presented as a painless lobulated cystic lesion with multiple telangiectatic vessels over the surface at the medial aspect of the lower eyelid margin in a 44-year-old [casereports.bmj.com]
Prognosis Apocrine hidrocystomas grow gradually and persist indefinitely after attaining full size. They seldom recur after removal. Apocrine hidrocystomas are entirely benign. Cysts may annoy patients; however, symptoms usually are mild or absent. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Etiology of single eccrine hidrocystomas, or single or multiple hidrocystomas, is unknown. [unboundmedicine.com]
The etiology of hidrocystomas in general is unknown. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Practitioners make the diagnosis of apocrine hidrocystoma histologically, and surgical removal is the most common treatment for cystic lesions. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Etiology The etiology of apocrine hidrocystoma is unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The lesions that appear along the lower eyelid margin are called Moll's gland cysts. [2] The exact etiology is unknown. [jddsjournal.org]
Epidemiology
Can differentiate apocrine from eccrine hidrocystoma both clinically and histopathologically ( 2 ) Epidemiology Incidence Eccrine and apocrine hidrocystomas affect adults between 30 and 70 years of age; apocrine hidrocystomas can occur in childhood and [unboundmedicine.com]
Epidemiology US frequency Apocrine hidrocystomas are relatively common in the United States. Race No predilection for race or geographic region is recognized for apocrine hidrocystomas. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Etiology and Pathophysiology Obstruction of the apocrine or eccrine sweat gland following an inflammatory process, trauma, or portal closure ( 3 ): Multiple eccrine hidrocystomas may be caused or worsened by hot and humid environments, worsening in summer [unboundmedicine.com]
Pathophysiology The exact stimulus for the development of an apocrine hidrocystoma is unknown. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology The pathogenesis of apocrine hidrocystoma is not entirely known. The tumor derives from the secretory part of apocrine sweat glands. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology of hidrocystomas is unclear, though many theories exist. The occlusion or blockage of the sweat duct apparatus, which results in the retention of sweat, and a dilated cystic structure, are considered to be plausible causes 14. [synapse.koreamed.org]
Prevention
Surgical Care Apocrine hidrocystomas can be incised and drained; however, electrosurgical destruction of the cyst wall often is recommended to prevent recurrence. Punch, scissors, or elliptical excision also can remove tumors. [emedicine.medscape.com]
I understand that this manuscript will make the readers aware of this atypical presentation of this uncommon tumour and hence prevent misdiagnosis. [casereports.bmj.com]
The case demonstrates the possibility of giant lid eccrine hidrocystomas presenting as progressive ptosis at a pediatric age and the need for early surgical intervention to prevent amblyopia. [ijo.in]
Apocrine hidrocystomas are incised and drained; however, electrosurgical destruction of the cyst wall is often recommended to prevent recurrence. [7] Apocrine hidrocystoma in our patient was removed by punch biopsy. They seldom recur after removal. [ijdpdd.com]
The cyst wall may be cauterized to prevent recurrence or vaporized utilizing a laser. 8,9 The differential diagnosis for an apocrine hidrocystoma includes an eccrine hidrocystoma, epidermal inclusion cyst, mucoid cyst, hemangioma, and lymphangioma. [clinicaladvisor.com]
