Syringocystadenoma papilliferum
Clinical signs
  • location: face, sometimes elsewhere
  • papule or sometimes several, linearly arranged papules

Histology

Invagination, lined in the depth with apocrine epithelium of two layers of cells with apocrine secretion. Near to the surface the lining changes into squamous epithelium. Many papillary projections extend into the lumen.

The dermis contains a dense inflammatory infilrate with many plasma cells.

Sometimes malformed follicles and sebaceous glands are found near the lesion. Vulgar verruca is sometimes present as well.
