Abstract
Syringomas are benign tumours originating from the eccrine ducts. Lower eyelid is the commonest site of origin. Very few cases have been reported in literature till date. Histopathology demonstrates normal compressed eccrine ducts in the fibrous capsule along with tumour cells arranged in tubules and solid islands. This report describes a case of syringoma on the lower eyelid in a female patient.

Abstract
Syringoma is rare disease that in classical variant occurs mainly on lower eyelids. In previously published researches, there is increasing evidence that eruptive syringomas must be discussed as an inflammatory dermal reaction pattern. And there was a proposal to change a name from eruptive syringoma to reactive syringomatous proliferation in appropriate cases. We conduct retrospective study on histopathological archived material to study the histopathological findings in cases of eruptive syringomas and correlate it with hypothesis that eruptive syringomas is not true adnexal neoplasms "de novo" but a hyperplastic response of the acrosyringium to an inflammatory process.According to obtained data and literature correlation, we can conclude that there is apparent diversity in eruptive syringomas. Part of cases can be calculated as neoplastic lesions arising "de novo," and another part as reactive syringomatous proliferation due to preceding cutaneous inflammatory process. Thus, term "eruptive syringoma" may be changed in appropriate cases to a "reactive syringomatous proliferation."Clinical variants of eruptive syringoma with evidence of underlying inflammatory process may be more responsive on types of treatments used for inflammatory disorders. Thus, more global clinicopathological correlative researches should be conducted and classification with terminology should be appropriately changed.

Abstract
Background Syringoma is a benign adnexal neoplasm and is considered safe with very low malignant potential. However, multiple tiny lesions typically affect the face and exposed area, which may cause a cosmetic concern for the patient. After a clinical diagnosis, there are two methods to diagnose syringoma: fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathology. FNAC is generally used for the initial evaluation of syringoma, while histopathology is used as a confirmatory test to diagnose syringoma. In developing and resource-limited settings, the combination of FNAC and histopathology would cause a financial and logistics burden. Objective This study aimed to observe the cytological and histopathological features of cases clinically diagnosed as syringomas in a tertiary care hospital to suggest the use of either FNAC or histopathology for diagnosing syringoma. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology and Department of Pathology of a tertiary care hospital in eastern India from November 2021 to April 2022. Any clinically provisionally diagnosed case of syringoma was recruited for the study after obtaining informed consent for voluntary participation. With aseptic precautions, the tissue aspirates and punch biopsy were obtained in the Department of Dermatology and the samples were sent to the Department of Pathology. Cytological and histological examination was conducted by a single expert pathologist. Result A total of 50 cases (36 female, 14 male) with a median age of 23 years (range 10-40 years) were included in the study. A total of 43 cases were presented with papular lesions and seven with nodules. In the majority of the cases (40%), the lesion was in the eyelid followed by 26% in the arm. In FNAC, 22 cases were found to be benign adnexal lesions, 16 were suggestive of syringoma, eight were diagnosed as xanthoma, two were diagnosed as warts, and two cases were inadequate for opinion. Histologically, 42 cases were confirmed as syringoma, six were diagnosed as xanthoma, and two cases were diagnosed as warts. There was a significant difference between diagnosis by FNAC and histopathology (McNemar χ2 = 24.038, p-value = 0.0001). Conclusion We found that FNAC and histopathological diagnosis of syringoma may not be corroborative. Benign adnexal lesions are difficult to categorize by FNAC. Histopathological examination of clinically diagnosed cases of syringoma is of help for definitive diagnosis. Hence, FNAC may be avoided for saving time and discomfort for the patients and clinically diagnosed cases may be diagnosed by histopathological examination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In clinical, common facial papule dermatosis such as seborrheic keratosis (SK), verruca plana (VP), syringoma and lichen nitidus (LN) is often misdiagnosed. Summarizing in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of the facial papule dermatosis is helpful in the diagnosis of ambiguous lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the features of SK, VP, syringoma, and LN in RCM. METHODS We recruited 144 patients referred for unequivocal facial papule dermatosis including 60 patients with SK, 60 patients with VP, 10 patients with syringoma, and 14 patients with LN. The RCM images were evaluated at the epidermis, the dermoepidermal junction, and the dermis from both papule lesions and normal skin. RESULTS In the epidermis, the cerebriform shape was the main RCM characteristic of SK and the "petal-like" structure was the main RCM characteristic of VP. In the dermoepidermal junction, the RCM features we found were as follows: For SK, the bright dermal papillary rings, the abnormal dermal papilla and the looped vessels were also observed at the abnormal dermal papilla. For VP, the bright dermal papillary rings and the point-like blood vessels were also observed at the round dermal papills. For LN, the round, enlarged, well-circumscribed dermal papillae and the enlarged dermal papillaes were heavily laden with individual highly refractive cells. In the dermis, RCM examination revealed brightly refractile teratogenous sweat tube, designing variably visible bright "moon" structures in all syringoma patients. CONCLUSION Considering our results, RCM may be useful to non-invasively discriminate SK, VP, syringoma and LN in vivo.

Abstract
With an incidence of 1 in 700 births, Down syndrome (DS) is not an uncommon condition. It is associated with various disorders of different organ systems. Serious disorders include cardiac defects and leukemia. With an onset during the newborn period, the latter does not always progress to classic myeloid leukemia (transient myeloproliferative disorder). Skin manifestations in newborns include pustules/vesiculopustules. In individuals with DS, such lesions should not only prompt suspicion for typical neonatal rashes and infections but also for transient myeloproliferative disorder. However, most dermatoses are benign. They essentially comprise disorders of keratinization that present as xerosis, keratosis pilaris, lichenification, and ichthyosis vulgaris. Also typical but not specific is the four-finger palmar crease (simian crease). Patients frequently develop folliculitides, which - due to elastolysis - subsequently progress to anetoderma. The known immune disturbance in DS patients explains the occurrence of autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo. Typical skin conditions associated with DS include elastosis perforans serpiginosa, syringomas, milia-like calcinosis cutis, and multiple eruptive dermatofibromas.

Abstract
Abstract
Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from intraepidermal eccrine ducts. The usual presentation of syringoma is a small smooth skin-colored, yellowish or brownish papule with flattened or rounded top. Eruptive syringoma is a rarely reported form, where lesions are numerous and occur in successive crops. A case of a 57-year-old Caucasian male with a twenty four-year history of multiple asymptomatic, erythematous and brownish papules, predominantly over the anterior aspect of the trunk is presented. All lesions appeared after prolonged sun exposures within a few days and persisted without further changes afterwards. Contact non-polarized dermoscopy showed a fine light brown, regular pigment network on a light pink background, being the same in all lesions. History of the disease, clinical finding and dermoscopy were inconclusive, and biopsy was performed. Histopathology revealed signs of syringoma. Dermoscopic finding was thought to be intriguing and therefore is discussed in this paper.

Abstract
Syringomas are benign, eccrine sweat gland tumors frequently found on the eyelids and neck in post-pubescent women and may present in healthy individuals or be associated with various medical comorbidities. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 19-year-old female with an abrupt onset of disseminated syringomas on the bilateral forearms and dorsal hands. Eruptive acral syringomas have not been previously reported in adolescents, and this diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with a papular eruption on the hands and forearms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Syringomas are benign tumours of the sweat glands, the most familiar clinical presentation of which is the presence of multiple lesions on the eyelids. The aim of our study was to determine the clinical and histological characteristics of a large series of patients and to examine anatomoclinical correlations. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted in all of the cases of syringoma analysed at the cutaneous histopathology laboratory in Strasbourg between 1970 and 2008. The clinical elements, patient history and diagnostic data were collated. All slides were re-read in order to determine the microscopic characteristics of the lesions. RESULTS Two hundred and forty-four lesions were included. The sex ratio was 0.27 and the mean age was 42 years (8 to 85 years). Multiple syringomas were noted in 76% of cases, of which 29.2% were eruptive, and one case occurred in a setting of metastatic melanoma. The sites of predilection were the face (56.7%, of which 36.3% on the eyelids), the chest (18.1%) and the neck (17.5%) for the multiple forms. The lesions were in the form of papules (67%), either brown (34.2%) or flesh-coloured (19.8%). Pruritus was reported in 14 cases, including 4 at vulvar sites (out of a total of 8). A diagnosis of syringoma was made by the clinician in only 30.2% of the multiple forms, with mastocytosis being proposed in 7.1% of cases. The clear-cell forms (18 cases) presented no special clinical features. CONCLUSION Syringomas are frequently multiple and are seen mainly in women. They are found predominantly on the face and trunk, and lesions are generally brown and pruritic, a little-known feature that accounts for the degree of diagnostic confusion with mastocytosis. The vulvar forms, which are often pruritic, are poorly known. The eruptive forms may include a hormonal component.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from intraepidermal eccrine duct. AIM The aim of the study is to report the experience concerning syringoma by reviewing the clinical and histopathologic features of a series of 34 histologically diagnosed syringoma patients observed over a period of six years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four patients were sorted into two groups, localized and generalized syringoma, according to the Friedman and Butler classification. Different histopathologic findings were recorded in specially designed questionnaires for further analysis. RESULTS Ninety-seven percent of the patients were females with the mean age of 27.6 years. The mean duration of the lesions before the presentations was six years. The diagnosis of syringoma was only considered in 23 patients (67.6%) and was the initial diagnosis in only 13 (38.2%) patients. All histological findings were seen more common in our cases. in comparison to the documented cases in the literature. Clear cell change of epithelial eccrine cells was 85.2% and there was no difference in the histopathological findings in the two groups. Our patients with generalized syringoma (GS) had a considerable lower age of onset than the ones with localized syringoma (LS) (P = 0.027). CONCLUSION Our patients with generalized syringoma were younger than the ones with localized syringoma. Distribution of the generalized syringoma was mainly in the chest and neck followed by the forearms whereas localized syringoma was mostly confined to the face, axilla and genitalia. There were also some conditions associated with our cases including sarcoidosis, calcinosis cutis and basal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Syringoma is common benign neoplasm that is mostly seen around the eyes. However these tumors can occur in atypical locations such as the axilla. Although the axilla is possible site for syringoma, no previous case of syringoma limited to the axilla has been reported in Korea. We report here on a case of syringoma that appeared as grouped yellow-brownish papules limited to the axillae of a 24-year-old woman.
