Syringomas are common intraepidermal sweat gland tumors most often found in women around the time of adolescence. Frequent sites of involvement include the lower eyelids and malar areas, however vulvar involvement is relatively rare. These lesions often present as small, multiple, skin-colored-to-yellowish papules and are often associated with increased vulvar discomfort and itching. We present...

We have previously shown that frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre, a type of linear scleroderma that affects the face and scalp, follows the lines of Blaschko, but the question whether linear scleroderma that occurs in the limbs follows Blaschko's lines has not been answered. We describe the case of a 4-year-old girl with multiple morphea showing remarkable unilateral systematized distr...

A 38-year-old woman is described who presented with a slowly growing mass on the posterior aspect of the left ear. Excision and histopathologic evaluation revealed a pleomorphic adenoma (PA) originating from heterotopic salivary gland tissue. Many authors have presented cases of PAs originating from ceruminous glands in the external auditory canal or of so-called chondroid syringoma originating...

PURPOSE We report two new cases of chondroid syringoma (CS) of the eyelid. Until 1961, this entity was known as pleomorphic adenoma or benign mixed tumour of the skin of salivary glands type. This tumour occurs most commonly in the head and neck regions. CASE REPORTS We describe two cases of CS with rapid growth, in the upper right eyelid, with no relation with the palpebral lobe of the lacri...

Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors derived from the intraepidermal portion of eccrine glands. They mostly found in young to middle aged women as asymptomatic (sometimes pruritic), soft, and yellowish-brown or skin-colored papules with bilaterally symmetrical distribution. The lesions have a predilection for periorbital area (primarily lower eyelids) cheeks. A variant-eruptive syringoma presen...
