“…Dermoscopic criteria for ES are still under definition [1][2][3]. Mostly, a faint brownish pigmented network on a light brown-to-red background has been reported, presumably reflecting scattered residual melanocytes of the basal epidermal layer [1][2][3]. Also, a reticular vascular network of thin vessels interrupted by hypopigmented areas has been described [3].…”

Introduction: Eruptive syringomas (ES) are a rare variant of syringomas, benign adnexal tumors of eccrine sweat glands’ ducts. They mostly affect young-to middle-aged women, but rarely they may also occur in the elderly, requiring generally no specific treatment. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 76-year-old woman with sudden onset of ES. Clinical examination evidenced brown-to-orange papules and plaques on the anterior neck, corresponding dermatoscopically to orange-brownish structureless areas, with barely hinted peripheral incomplete network, superimposed on areas of light pink. Histology showed dermal proliferation of epithelial cells forming cords and ductules, confirming the clinical-dermoscopic suspect of ES. The lesions remained stable at 12-month follow-up without treatment. Discussion: This case highlights the role of dermoscopy to help differentiate ES from other clinically similar but more serious entities, such as histiocytosis, mastocytosis, and lichen planus, and to schedule the required confirmatory biopsy in due time without haste.

“…Therefore, researchers chose dermoscopy, a non‐invasive method, to verify the characteristic changes. Several studies have indicated that skin lesions appear dermoscopically as brown regular pigmented networks and tiny white spaces between adjacent papules 8,13,14 . Glossy white structures with punctate and linear vessels on a pale pink background are seen in the lesions of the vulvar area.…”

Background Eruptive syringomas is a rare variant of syringoma, which is a benign adenoma differentiated from the terminal ducts of the eccrine glands. Nowadays, it's widely valued because of obvious skin lesions, large scope of influence, and high misdiagnosis rate. Objectives We aim to explore the clinical features of eruptive syringomas and the current research progress. Materials and Methods We firstly summarized the clinical features of 90 cases of eruptive syringomas. Then, the chi‐square test was used to analyze the relationship between the onset site of eruptive syringomas and age, as well as gender. Finally, we briefly reviewed the previous literature. Results During 12 years, 90 cases of eruptive syringomas were diagnosed in our hospital, including 28 males (31.1%) and 62 females (68.9%). The average diagnosed age was 28.8. Patients from 20 to 40 years old is 63 (70%), which is the most. 60 (66.7%) patients had the course for more than 1 year. Among onset sites, the neck, chest, and abdomen were in the top three. The chi‐square test showed that there were no significant differences in the onset sites of patients aged ≤ 20 and >20 years old (p‐value = 0.181), as well as male and female (p‐value = 0.363). Conclusion We found that more female than male was affected, and the most common onset sites were the neck, chest, and abdomen. Neither age nor gender was significantly associated with onset site distribution. Our study provides some data support for the research of eruptive syringomas.

“…In most patients of ES, dermoscopy findings of reticular brown lines or fine pigment networks were described, which is consistent with our patients. Some cases reported that tiny whitish dots, multifocal hypopigmented areas, and glittering yellow-whitish round structures are considered the dermoscopic hallmarks of the vulvar variant [7][8][9]. Histopathological examination showed the presence of epithelial cords, ducts, and cystic structures within the superficial dermis.…”

Syringoma is a benign adnexal neoplasm originating from the intraepidermal eccrine duct. Eruptive Syringoma (ES) is a rare variant that is characterized by skin-colored to reddish-brown and shiny papules. Here we report three cases of ES, one of them initially misdiagnosed as Darier disease. Dermoscopy showed light brown pigment networks and dotted or linear vessels. All these cases were confirmed as ES by histopathological examination, highlighting the importance of histopathological and dermoscopic evaluation.
