Lymphangioma circumscriptum of buttock mimicking lupus vulgaris and responding with anti-tubercular chemotherapy

Lymphangioma circumscriptum [LC] is a form of lymphangioma involving skin and subcutaneous tissue. Circumscriptum as its name suggests, is a well-circumscribed small lesion but it has a rare extensive variety also. LC may resemble other entities such as metastatic carcinoma of skin, lymphangiectasis, syringocystadenoma papilliferum, lupus vulgaris, actinomycosis etc. It is a difficult condition to treat. Different modalities of treatment such as surgical excision, laser, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency coagulation are used to treat this condition. We report here clinical presentation mimicking lupus vulgaris and responding with anti-tubercular [ATT] chemotherapy

Generalized eruptive syringoma

Syringoma is a benign adnexal neoplasm formed by well-differentiated ductal elements. The name syringoma is derived from Greek word Syrinx which means pipe or tube. Most commonly, syringomas are skin-colored or yellowish, small dermal rounded or flat papules ranging from 1- 3mm in diameter in the lower lid and upper part of the cheek. Eruptive syringoma is clinically distinct, uncommon variant of syringomas. Since the initial description by Darier and Jaquet in 1887, less than 100 cases have been reported to date. A case of 18 year old female with a 5 year history of eruptive syringoma is presented
