Abstract

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a benign skin appendage tumor. The typical lesion occurs most frequently on the scalp or face. The lesion consists most commonly of flesh nodule or plaque that may have a papillary, hyperkeratotic surface. A number of hypotheses as to the origin of this disorder have been put forward by different authors, but its origin still remains obscure. We have recently experienced a case of 31 years old female who had a flesh colored, lobulated tumor mass of 3 * 10cm in the left flank area. The histopathological examination revealed rather typical findings of syringocystadenoma papilliferum.
