Abstract

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is s rare tumor of disputed origin that was first reorted by peterson in 1892. Theclinical features of syringocystadenoma papilliferum are not constant. It may be present at birth or develop later in life. Its appearance varies from an irregular, flat, grey or reddish area to a grey or dark brown. raised and cauliflower-like surface. Sometimes it is moist, flesh or pedunculated and occasionally a verrucous plaque, or cyst may be seen. The typical lesion occurs most frequently on the scalp, and is a hairless smooth plaque until puberty, when a nodular verrucous transformation occurs. A 39 years old male patient had egg sized (3*5cm) and yellowish red colored verrucous tumor mass on his epigastric area, which had grown up slowly for 7 years. The diagnosis of syringocysyadenoma papilliferum was confirmed by histological examination. We repoet a case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum in unusually large size on the epigastric area.
