SYRINGOCYSTADENOMA PAPILLIFERUM – A RARE CASE REPORT
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign adnexal tumor of apocrine or eccrine glands. It is a childhood tumor with a relatively higher incidence at birth. The common sites of occurrence are the face and scalp. The propensity of the nodular lesion is towards the trunk, but here in our case, we present a case of nodular syringocystadenoma papilliferum of the scalp. The tumor can arise de novo or from pre-existing naevus sebaceous. The tumor rarely has a malignant course, most often basal cell carcinoma. Herein, we present an adolescent with the nodular type of syringocystadenoma papilliferum of the scalp, treated with surgical excision.
