Syringofibroadenoma

Syringofibroadenoma

Syringofibroadenoma (pronunciation: si-rin-go-fi-bro-ad-en-o-ma) is a rare, benign skin tumor that originates from the eccrine sweat glands.

Etymology

The term "Syringofibroadenoma" is derived from three Greek words: "syrinx" meaning tube, "fibra" meaning fiber, and "adenoma" meaning glandular tumor.

Definition

Syringofibroadenoma is a type of skin lesion that is characterized by the proliferation of eccrine sweat gland ducts and fibrous stroma. It was first described by Mascaro in 1963.

Clinical Presentation

Syringofibroadenomas typically present as solitary or multiple skin-colored or reddish papules, nodules, or plaques. They are most commonly found on the extremities, particularly the hands and feet.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of syringofibroadenoma is primarily based on histopathological examination. The characteristic histological features include anastomosing cords of epithelial cells embedded in a fibrovascular stroma, with ductal structures that resemble eccrine sweat ducts.

Treatment

Treatment options for syringofibroadenoma include surgical excision, cryotherapy, and laser therapy.
