Three cases of eruptive syringoma with dermoscopic features

Abstract

Syringoma is a benign adnexal neoplasm originating from the intraepidermal eccrine duct. Eruptive Syringoma (ES) is a rare variant that is characterized by skin-colored to reddish-brown and shiny papules. Here we report three cases of ES, one of them initially misdiagnosed as Darier disease. Dermoscopy showed light brown pigment networks and dotted or linear vessels. All these cases were confirmed as ES by histopathological examination, highlighting the importance of histopathological and dermoscopic evaluation.
