ABSTRACT
Although syringoma is a relatively common adnexal tumor, syringoma of the hand has not been reported previously in Korea. We report a case of acral syringoma that appeared as grouped yellow-brownish papules limited to the dorsum of the right hand in a 40 year-old woman. The histopathologic findings were typical of syringoma and were characterized by the presence of numerous solid strands of basophilic epithelial cells and small cystic ducts embedded in a fibrous connective tissue stroma in the dermis. The classical "tadpole" or "comma-like tail" structures were also observed. Our case of acral syringoma presented a distinctive clinical picture, and this condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of papular lesions of the hands.
