Abstract
- Generalized syringoma is a rare variant of syringoma. In generalized syringoma, numerous papules arise in successive crops on the anterior surface of the body involving the chest, neck, and abdomen. It usually occurs in adolescents and young adults. Males and females are almost equally affected. A 19-year-old man presented with multiple 2-3mm sized papules on the chest, abdomen, and upper back. There was no subjective symptom. Family history showed that his mother had similar lesions. Histopathologic examination showed numerous eccrine ducts of various shapes and sizes lined by a double layer of squamous epithelium. Herein, we present a case of generalized syringoma with a review of the literature.
