RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Apocrine hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm. The histology is characterized by an excess of apocrine glands located predominantly in the reticular dermis. Pigmented apocrine hamartoma represents a histopathological variation of apocrine hamartoma containing tubules and linear cysts covered by apocrine cells on the inside with melanin and on the outside with myoepithelial cells. At this time, 4 cases of this pathology have been described. This case report aims to present a case of pigmented apocrine hamartoma of the vulva in a young patient, emphasizing that while occurrence is rare, it must be considered when diagnosing a pigmented lesion of the vulva in young patients.
