ABSTRACT
As a rule, spiradenoma occurs as a solitary intradermal nodule measuring 1 to 2cm in diameter. Occasionally, there are several nodules, and rarely, there are numerous small nodules in a zosteriform pattern or large nodules, up to 5 cm, in a linear arrangement. A 51-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of multiple, small, tender nodules which showed a linear distribution along the right subclavian area. The diagnosis of spiradenoma was made by clinical and histopathological findings and all the subcutaneous nodules were completely excised by a surgical method. We, herein, report a rare case of multiple linear spiradenoma.

As a rule, eccrine spiradenoma occurs as a solitary intradermal nodule measuring 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Occasionally, there are several nodules, and rarely, there are numerous small nodules in a zosteriform pattern or large nodules, up to 5 cm, in a linear arrangement. We report herein an interesting case of eccrine spiradenoma in which multiple large nodules in a linear arrangement were observed. A 41-year-old female presented with a 17-year history of multiple pea to large bean-sized painful and tender subcutaneous nodules which show the linear distribution along her right arm. The diagnosis of eccrine spiradenoma was made by clinical and histopathological findings and all her subcutaneous nodules were removed by surgical method.

We report a case of sebaceous hyperplasia showing linear arrangement in a 13-year-old girl. The lesion was found at birth and became prominent gradually. Multiple small discrete yellowish papules were arranged in a linear pattern on the temporal srea of the face. Unusual, incidental histopathologic finding was a sebaceous lobule lying in a dilated infundibular portion, which appeared to represent transfollicular extrusion of sebaceous lobule as a natural phenomenon.
