A case of syringoid eccrine carcinoma (SEC) is reported. The tumor was mainly formed by clear cells laden with glycogen. This feature, rarely found in syringoma, had not previously been reported in SEC. The authors assume that SEC is an infiltrating and locally destructive but not metastasizing neoplasm. They propose that SEC is a clinicopathologic entity with a histopathologic spectrum from the more differentiated syringomatoid ones to so-called primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma. A possible nexus between the more syringomatoid cases and the sclerosing sweat duct (syringomatous) carcinoma is also discussed.
