ABSTRACT

Pure apocrine nevi are hamartomas of the pilosebaceous units characterized by benign proliferations of mature apocrine glands, which is a microscopic description made in pathology reports without the exact diagnosis being named. Considering the clinical differential diagnoses and its low frequency, we present a case report and a review of the literature on this topic.
