AI Article Synopsis
- Syringoma is a benign tumor originating from sweat glands; eruptive syringoma (ES) is a rare type that can be mistaken for other skin conditions, particularly lichen planus (LP).
- Dermoscopic examination of ES revealed fine brown reticulate lines on a light brown background, which are different from LP's typical appearance.
- A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of ES, indicating that dermoscopy can be a valuable tool in distinguishing ES from similar skin diseases.
Article Abstract
Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor of eccrine origin. Eruptive syringoma (ES) is a rare variant and can mimic other diseases especially lichen planus (LP). The dermoscopic observation of ES is not well described. We report here a case of ES, initially misdiagnosed as LP. The dermoscopic findings showed fine reticulate brown lines on a light brown background contrarily to the findings usually seen in LP. These findings prompt a skin biopsy which subsequently confirmed the diagnosis of ES. The use of dermoscopy in ES can be useful and may help differentiate it from other diseases.

We present an interesting image of eruptive syringoma confirmed by histopathological assessment in a 37-year-old male who was consulted due to numerous brownish small macules and papules resembling maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis (MPCM). We show difficulties in diagnosing ES, given its rare occurrence and resemblance to other dermatological disorders. Moreover, we discuss the role of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy in the differential diagnosis of syringoma.

Eruptive syringoma, a rare subtype of syringoma, is a benign adnexal tumor arising from the eccrine sweat glands. It is characterized by multiple asymptomatic, flat-topped, brown-pigmented papules. The disease typically occurs during adolescence and young adulthood.
