Multiple unilateral syringomas presented as unusually hard plaques due to significant desmoplasia. This distinct clinical and histological finding expands the known spectrum of syringoma presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Syringomas are benign adnexal neoplasms originating from eccrine ducts.
  • They typically present as small, flesh-colored papules or plaques.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of multiple unilateral syringomas.
  • The lesions were characterized by notably indurated plaques, differing from typical presentations.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination revealed proliferation of eccrine ducts, consistent with syringoma.
  • A key finding was extensive desmoplasia, significantly exceeding that commonly observed in syringoma.
  • This desmoplasia was responsible for the marked induration of the plaques.

Implications:

  • This unusual presentation expands the clinical spectrum of syringoma.

  • Dermatologists should consider this variant in the differential diagnosis of indurated skin lesions.
  • Further research may explore the factors contributing to pronounced desmoplasia in specific syringoma cases.
