K. Sampath Kumar Singh, A. Rajesh Kumar, M. Neeraja, P. Venkata Ramana Babu.

Abstract
Clear cell hidradenoma is a benign skin appendage tumour, these lesions have a wide histological spectrum and many different terms are often used to describe the same tumour. These tumours grows slowly and present in their fourth decade or older. Wide local excision is the treatment option for hidradenoma. We report a rare case of a patient with clear cell hidradenoma of ear lobe, who underwent wide surgical excision under local anaesthesia. Its surgical repair places a challenge due to the difficulty of natural appearing and durable outcome. Reconstruction of ear lobe had done in a single stage procedure by using the limberg flaps. This produces a good looking ear lobe in our 6 months follow up period.

Key words: clear cell hidradenoma, Hidradenocarcinoma, Limberg flap.
