Abstract

Eccrine Spiradenoma (ES) is an uncommon tumor of eccrine sweat gland. It usually presents as a solitary, painful nodule located over trunk and proximal limbs. Multiple ES is a rare phenomenon, comprising less than 2% of all cases. We report a case of middle-aged female presented with multiple, painless tumors of varying morphology located in linear and zosteriform distribution diagnosed as ES. Prompt diagnosis of ES is pivotal due to risk of life threatening malignant transformation. This article highlights the rare presentation of ES and a brief review of this disease.
