What is a syringoma?
A syringoma is a benign adnexal tumour derived from the acrosyringium, which is the intraepidermal portion of an eccrine sweat duct. Syringomas are commonly found in clusters on and around the eyelids. They may also arise on the cheeks, scalp, axillae, umbilicus, chest, and genital regions.
