Nodular hidradenoma is a rare form of sweat gland tumour characterised by diverse clinical and histopathological features, which can make diagnosis challenging. In this report, we describe the case of a 26-year-old male patient who presented with painless scalp swelling. The rarity of nodular hidradenoma in males, as well as its importance in the differential diagnosis, are highlighted in this case. The patient underwent diagnostic evaluation, including ultrasound, CT-brain, and fine needle aspiration cytology, all of which confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical excision with tumor free margins and flap reconstruction were performed, leading to a successful outcome without recurrence at the 6-month follow-up. This case emphasises the importance of careful evaluation, appropriate surgical management, and vigilant follow-up in cases of nodular hidradenoma to minimise recurrence rates and ensure optimal patient care.
