AI Article Synopsis
- Eccrine poroma is a benign tumor that usually occurs on the hands and feet but is rarely found in the gluteal area, marking the first reported case of such a recurrence.
- A 62-year-old woman developed a recurrent eccrine poroma in her buttocks after initial surgical removal, following mild trauma, which led to an abscess.
- The rarity of eccrine poromas in unusual locations highlights the need for careful monitoring and treatment to differentiate them from potentially more serious conditions, emphasizing the importance of complete resection and follow-up.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm originating from epidermal sweat ducts mainly affecting the palmoplantar skin, buttock as a location of origin of poroma has rarely been reported, it is the first reported case of recurrent poroma in this site.
Presentation Of Case: We report an unusual case of eccrine poroma in the gluteal region of a 62 years old female associated with gluteal abscess, surgically excised with histologically clear margins, then recurred after one and half year with a given history of mild trauma.
Discussion: Given the uncommonness of these neoplasms, there stays a general lack of data on pathogenesis, atypical presentation, atypical sites, recurrence and risk of malignant transformation into porocarcinoma.
Conclusion: Gluteal skin is an unusual location for a benign poroma. Early recognition and appropriate treatment at the initial presentation by complete resection with histopathology confirmation and follow-up are crucial to ruling out other diagnoses, such as lesions of malignant transformation.

Background: Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm, commonly arising from its benign counterpart, eccrine poroma (EP), but potential unrevealed clinicopathological differences between them are not well understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify clinicopathological features of EP and EPC and describe the factors that may be associated with the malignant transformation of EP by comparing the two groups.
Methods: A total of 37 cases of EP and 22 cases of EPC diagnosed between January 2017 and June 2023 were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical and histopathological characteristics were compared using statistical methods.

Poroma is a relatively rare benign adnexal neoplastic lesion that usually affects elderly patients in the extremities, with an unclear pathogenesis. It is notable for having a variety of morphological appearances that make diagnosis challenging, particularly when observed on an uncommon anatomical site. Here, we present a case of a woman in her mid-50s who presented with a skin pedunculated lesion over the right thigh.

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.

Eccrine poroma is a non-cancerous tumor that arises from the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat glands. It usually appears as a solitary lesion on an extremity, commonly on the foot or sole, and is often subject to delayed or inaccurate diagnosis in clinical settings. This article describes a rare case of eccrine poroma located on the palm.
