ABSTRACT

Syringomas are benign neoplasms of the eccrine tissue that differentiate towards the acrosyringium. Afflicting mostly middleaged females, the lesions are usually skin-colored or hyperpigmented, flat and 1-5 mm in diameter, usually confined to the preorbital area, neck and chest. In rare instances they can be disseminated and involve acral regions such as palms and soles. We describe the case of eruptive syringoma with acral involvement in a 26 year-old female.
