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.
