Eruptive Syringomas: An Unusual Presentation on the Buttocks

Author and Disclosure Information

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.
