SyringocystadenomaPapilliferum Arising from Nevus Sebaceous: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Nevus sebaceous is a cutaneous hamartoma accompanied by secondary tumors, such as syringocystadenoma papilliferum. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign tumor with a controversial differentiation between eccrine and apocrine. Most syringocystadenoma papilliferum involving the scalp arises from a nevus sebaceous. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a 15-year-old adolescent female with a congenital skin lesion on the forehead undergoing surgical excision after changing in size and shape of the lesion. After surgical excision and histopathological examination, a diagnosis of syringocystadenoma papilliferum arising from a sebaceous mole was made. Conclusion: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare skin tumor. Histological confirmation was required for a definitive diagnosis. Furthermore, surgery and complete removal of the lesion are needed for treatment.
