Syringoma presenting as milia.

S J Friedman, D F Butler

    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
    |February 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study details two patients with infraocular milium-like lesions, revealing syringoma with keratin cysts. Histology suggests these lesions originate from eccrine ductal structures, expanding syringoma classification.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Histopathology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Syringoma are benign adnexal tumors originating from eccrine sweat ducts.
    • Infraocular lesions are uncommon presentations of syringoma.
    • Milium-like appearance can mimic other benign or malignant skin conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two unrelated patients presented with multiple infraocular milium-like lesions.
    • Histopathological examination revealed syringoma.
    • Numerous overlying keratin cysts were noted in the papillary dermis.

    Findings:

    • Fontana-Masson staining showed an absence of melanin in the keratin cyst walls.
    • This suggests the cysts originate from eccrine ductal structures, not melanocytes.
    • The findings support a variant presentation of syringoma.

    Implications:

    • This case report expands the clinical and histological spectrum of syringoma.
    • Understanding the origin of these infraocular lesions is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • A proposed classification of syringoma clinical variants is presented.
