Subepidermal Calcified Nodule Arising in theLesion Of Clear Cell Syringoma / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

The subepidermal calcified nodule, also known as a form of calcinosis cutis, is characterized by solitary circumscribed deposits of insoluble calcium within the subepidermis. The disease is not associated with any systemic or cutaneous diseases, or any biochemical abnormalities. The pathogenesis is still unknown. A 55-year-old female presented with a 4-month history of solitary skin-colored, hyperkeratotic papule on the left upper eyelid. The lesion was asymptomatic and had increased slowly in size. It is interesting that excisional biopsy showed typical histopathologic features of the subepidermal calcified nodule and the clear cell syringoma.
