Summary
This study reports the first known case of syringoma on the hands. These rare skin tumors presented as small, symmetrical red bumps on a young man
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors originating from sweat ducts.
- While common on the face and trunk, syringomas rarely occur on the extremities.
Observation:
- A unique case of multiple acral syringomas is presented.
- The lesions appeared as symmetrical, grouped erythematous papules.
- The papules were specifically located on the dorsum of the proximal and middle phalanges of both hands in a young male patient.
Findings:
- This represents the first documented instance of syringoma affecting the hands.
- The clinical presentation involved distinct papular lesions on the digits.
Implications:
- Acral syringomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of papular lesions on the hands.
- This finding expands the known clinical spectrum and anatomical distribution of syringomas.
