Abstract

Eruptive syringoma is a generalised variant of syringomas. They are rare benign tumours of the eccrine sweat ducts typically presenting asymptomatically, but occasionally with pruritus when associated with perspiration or in individuals with a background of atopy. Although treatment is usually mostly oriented to cosmetic improvement, it often proves difficult and unsatisfactory.

We present a diagnostically challenging case of eruptive syringoma in a young woman who presented atypically, with an intensely pruritic dermatosis.
