Abstract:
Syringomas are benign, eccrine sweat gland tumors frequently found on the eyelids and neck in post-pubescent women and may present in healthy individuals or be associated with various medical comorbidities. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 19-year-old female with an abrupt onset of disseminated syringomas on the bilateral forearms and dorsal hands. Eruptive acral syringomas have not been previously reported in adolescents, and this diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with a papular eruption on the hands and forearms.
