Abstract

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign adnexal tumour presenting as exuberant proliferating lesion showing differentiation in apocrine pattern. The three clinical variants are linear, plaque and solitary of which linear variant is the rarest. We report a case of linear variant of syringocystadenoma papilliferum, which had typical histopathological features. As there is risk of malignancy in long standing cases, early diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance.
