Clear Cell Syringoma of the Eyelids, a Distinctive Histopathologic Variant Associated with Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

The authors describe the clinical and histologic findings of the clear cell variant of syringoma. Three adult female patients (age range 39-76 years old) were found to have multiple, flesh-colored lower eyelid papules, clinically consistent with syringomas, but histologically displaying abundant clear cell change. Two patients had known diagnoses of uncontrolled diabetes.
