Eccrine syringofibroadenoma is a rare benign adnexal neoplasm derived from cells of
the acrosyringium of eccrine sweat glands. ESFA usually manifests as a solitary
nodule on the extremities of elderly patients, but it may also present as papules,
nodules or plaques. Its clinical appearance is nonspecific and malignant neoplasms
should beconsidered in the differential diagnosis. However, histopathological
findings are typical. The main treatment is surgical excision. In order to illustrate
a typical presentation of the tumor, we report a case of solitary eccrine
syringofibroadenoma, including the surgical treatment used and its result.
