Eccrine poroma frequently occurs as a solitary tumour, and only a few reports have described the occurrence of multiple lesions. Multiple eccrine poromas, or eccrine poromatosis, may occur in patients who have undergone radiotherapy and/or polychemotherapy. We report here four cases of multiple eccrine poromas in patients who were either undergoing, or had undergone, intensive chemotherapy (from 6 months to 16 years prior to onset). Three patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and one had malignant fibrous histiocytosis. The number of lesions varied from 3 to > 20 in each patient, and all the lesions occurred on non-irradiated skin. The histopathological features were consistent with those of eccrine poroma, Pinkus type. In addition to radiation therapy, intensive chemotherapy may play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple eccrine poromas even many years after treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare and often misdiagnosed malignant tumor, commonly mistaken for benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
- A 57-year-old man with recurrent finger infections was ultimately diagnosed with DPA after a surgical evaluation and biopsy revealed both infection and the tumor, necessitating surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is vital due to the tumor's tendency for recurrence and metastasis, particularly to the lungs and lymph nodes, and current treatment primarily involves surgical excision with focus on achieving negative margins.

Article Synopsis
- The CYLD cutaneous syndrome leads to multiple skin tumors like cylindromas and spiradenomas, primarily affecting the face and head, with more frequent occurrence in women.
- A Colombian family spanning three generations showcased early onset of this syndrome, confirmed by genetic analysis identifying a specific variant in the CYLD gene.
- Understanding the genetic and environmental factors behind the syndrome is vital for developing better treatments and enhancing patient care.

Article Synopsis
- Poromas are benign skin tumors originating from sweat glands, often appearing as pink or red bumps primarily on hairless areas like palms and soles.
- A 70-year-old woman had a poroma on her abdomen that showed some histological features similar to another neoplasm, syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP), but lacked certain defining characteristics of SCAP.
- This case, showing rare SCAP-like features within a poroma, emphasizes the need for careful diagnosis as it may simply reflect a variation of poromas, rather than representing two different tumors.
Article Synopsis
- Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign tumor linked to sweat glands, often appearing as a slow-growing skin lesion.
- A 30-year-old woman had a 10-year history of an asymptomatic scalp nodule that developed after head trauma, which was examined and found to be 3 mm in size with specific features.
- A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient successfully had the tumor removed through surgery.
