Syringocystadenoma papilliferum in an unusual location* * Study performed at the Dermatology Service of Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) - Belém (PA), Brazil.

Abstract:

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign hamartomatous adnexal tumor of the apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. Most patients present a solitary lesion in the head and neck region. Presentation outside the head and neck region is even more uncommon. We present a case of Syringocystadenoma papilliferum with papulonodular lesion located on the vulva of an infant girl. This case illustrates the atypical location of this rare disease and adds to the differential diagnosis of lesions on the vulva.
