Poromas are uncommon benign neoplasms originating from the terminal ductal portion of the sweat glands, mainly characterized by skin-colored or pink papules or nodules, usually on the extremities. Due to their rarity, the pigmented form clinical hypothesis is hardly ever suggested and psychopathology is fundamental. We report a case of pigmented eccrine poroma in the right palmer area, a location considered atypical. We stress the importance of dermoscopy as a method for diagnosis of poromas, especially in the differential diagnosis with other pigmented nodular-popular lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Poroid neoplasms (PN) are diverse tumors that originate from sweat glands, and their classification and identifying features can be difficult.
- A study conducted at the Niamey National Hospital from February 2020 to February 2024 found 13 cases of benign poroid neoplasms, mostly classic poromas, with a majority being misdiagnosed as malignant before surgery.
- The results indicate that these tumors often have apocrine ductal features and tend to occur in younger patients and non-palmoplantar areas, challenging traditional understandings of their characteristics.
