Eruptive syringoma - A report of two cases
Keywords:
Eccrine duct, syringoma, eruptiveAbstract
Syringomas are adenoma of intra-epidermal eccrine duct. Clinically lesions are small, skin-coloured papules; tend to occur in the periorbital area particularly around the lower eyelid. Eruptive syringoma, a distinctive form of syringoma presents as successive crops of numerous, disseminated papules appearing in atypical sites. There are a few reports of its widespread distribution as eruptive syringoma in the literature. Herein, we report two cases of eruptive syringomas in two women aged 35-year and 28-year, respectively. They presented with multiple asymptomatic, skin coloured papules at different sites. In both the cases, histopathology showed multiple ducts and solid nest or cords of epithelial proliferation within the dermis, embedded in fibrous stroma. Some ducts had tadpole like appearance.ÂReferences
