Abstract
- As a rule, eccrine spiradenoma occurs as a solitary intradermal nodule measuring 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Occasionally, there are several nodules, and rarely, there are numerous small nodules in a zosteriform pattern or large nodules, up to 5 cm, in a linear arrangement. We report herein an interesting case of eccrine spiradenoma in which multiple large nodules in a linear arrangement were observed. A 41-year-old female presented with a 17-year history of multiple pea to large bean-sized painful and tender subcutaneous nodules which show the linear distribution along her right arm. The diagnosis of eccrine spiradenoma was made by clinical and histopathological findings and all her subcutaneous nodules were removed by surgical method.
