Abstract
- Syringomas confined to the distal extremities are very rare. A 62-year-old man presented with an 8-month history of multiple, light brown, flat-topped papules on both forearms and the dorsa of the hands. Histopathologic examination showed multiple dilated eccrine ducts lined by two rows of epithelial cells. There has currently been less than 10 reported cases of syringoma confined to both forearms and the dorsa of the hands in the world medical literature.
