Abstract

Papillary eccrine adenoma is a rare benign sweat gland neoplasm. It occurs most often as a solitary nodule in women and is located predominantly on the distal portion of the extremities. This tumor is similar to tubular apocrine adenoma in histological and clinical aspects, so distinction of these tumors is still controversial. We report a case of two papillary eccrine adenomas developed on the left popliteal and calf area of a 58-year-old-man, this is the first report of the multiple papillary eccrine adenomas in Korea.
