Abstract:
Acrosyringeal nevus is a rare condition, which includes proliferation of acrosyringeal keratinocytes, and the proliferation extends from the undersurface of the epidermis down into the dermis as thin anastomosing cords. It is, however, controversial whether acrosyringeal nevus is the same lesion as eccrine syringofibroadenoma, because of several clinicopathological differences. We report a case of benign tumor, consisting of eccrine structures, which occurred in a 60-year-old man. The histopathological features of the excisional biopsy were consistent with acrosyringeal nevus.
