Syringomas are benign, eccrine, sweat gland tumors. Eruptive syringomas are rare variants that typically develop on the body's anterior surface. We present the case of a 21-year-old black man with multiple, eruptive, asymptomatic syringomas on his buttocks that had persisted for 3 months. This case is unusual in that the patient's age, race, and sex and the location of the lesions are not considered typical for eruptive syringomas. We also present a review of eruptive syringomas and recent literature.
