ABSTRACT
Poromas are uncommon benign neoplasms originating from the terminal ductal portion of the sweat glands, mainly characterized by skin-colored or pink pa pules or nodules, usually on the extremities. Due to their rarity, the pigmented form clinical hypothesis is hardly ever suggested and psychopathology is fundamental. We report a case of pigmented eccrine poroma in the right palmer area, a location considered atypical. We stress the importance of dermoscopy as a method for diagnosis of poromas, especially in the differential diagnosis with other pigmented nodular-popular lesions.
RESUMO
Os poromas são neoplasias benignas incomuns oriundas das porções ductais terminais das glândulas sudoríparas. Caracterizam-se principalmente por pápula ou nódulo cor da pele ou róseo, em geral nas extremidades. Devido à raridade, a hipótese clínica da forma pigmentada dificilmente é aventada, sendo fundamental a histopatologia. Relata-se caso de poroma écrino pigmentado na região palmar direita, localização considerada atípica. Ressalta-se a importância da dermoscopia como método auxiliar no diagnóstico do poroma e, principalmente, no diagnóstico diferencial com outras lesões pápulo-nodulares pigmentadas.
