Multiple Progressive Papules on the Abdomen

Syringoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from the intradermal portion of the eccrine sweat ducts that occurs predominantly in women at puberty or in early adulthood. Eruptive syringoma (ES) is a rare variant that has been described to occur in successive crops on the anterior body surface. It usually presents as soft, flesh-colored to yellowish dermal papules on the lower eyelids of healthy individuals. Other sites of predilection are the cheeks, axillae, neck, and abdomen.We report a case of ES in a 35-year-old woman.
