Abstract
- Syringomas are common benign adnexal tumors, probably of the eccrine origin. They are more common in women and usually found around the eyelids. An exclusively acral site of the lesions is very rare. We present a case of acral syringomas in a 44 year-old woman, involving only the dorsum of the fingers of both hands. It is important to include syringomas in the clinical differential diagnosis of papular lesions of the hands.
