Vulvar sweaty adenoma

Vulvar sweat adenomas originate from the vulvar sweat glands. Tumors due to sweat epithelial hyperplasia are generally benign and very few are malignant. Sweat adenomas are rare and 80% occur in women over 50 years of age. Because sweaty adenomas occur in adulthood, the growth site is mainly in the labia majora, which is because the sweaty glands are functional only after sexual development and maturity.
