Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is mostly a childhood tumour [3] with 50% reported at birth and 15–35% presented at puberty [4]
It has been known to be associated with other benign tumours such as viral warts, nevus sebaceous, linear nevus verrucous, nevus comedonicus, apocrine poroma, apocrine hidrocystoma, tubulopapillary hidradenoma, hidradenoma papilliferum and papillary eccrine adenoma [5]
Summary
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SP) of the eyelid is a rare benign tumour of the Moll’s glands equivalent to the sweat gland first reported in 1917 by John Stokes [1]. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is mostly a childhood tumour [3] with 50% reported at birth and 15–35% presented at puberty [4]. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum can rarely transform into BCC, as has been reported [4]. A thorough review of the literature in Google Scholar, African Journals Online (AJOL) and Medline/PubMed yielded 17 cases of SP of the eyelid. We hereby report another interesting case of SP of the eyelid.
