Abstract
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is an exceedingly rare skin adnexal
neoplasm of apocrine gland origin, commonly located primarily on
the scalp and appearing as a hairless nodular plaque lesion. We report
the case of a 35-year old man with history of an ulcer on the right leg
which started three years earlier as a small excoriation after trauma
to the leg over a lesion present from birth. Histological examination
confirmed the diagnosis of syringocystadenoma papilliferum, which
is a very rare lesion on the leg. We report this case due of its rarity and
unusual clinical presenation.
