“…Even though they are considered peculiar, eruptive syringomas have been amply reported in the literature. 4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] On the other hand, syringomas on the genital area have rarely been found, although some sporadic cases have been reported, [23][24][25][26][27][28] especially in the vulvar region, frequently arising in young women after puberty with pruritus, exacerbating during menstruation. 28 It has been theorized that syringomas are at least partially under estrogen or progesterone hormonal influences, as they are more common in women and aggravate during pregnancy 25 and menstruation.…”

“…Rarely, tumors may regress spontaneously in adulthood. 2,3,[13][14][15][16][17] Unfortunately, there is no standard treatment for widespread syringomas. Any method of surgical or chemical destruction carries the risk of scarring.…”

“…Treatment modalities have included dermabrasion, various methods of excision, cryosurgery, electrodesiccation, chemical peeling, and oral and topical retinoids. [13][14][15]17 Successful treatment of facial syringoma with carbon dioxide laser has also been reported. 16 A recent report suggests the use of topical atropine to alleviate the pruritus in symptomatic eruptive syringoma.…”

Syringomas are benign, eccrine, sweat gland tumors that clinically appear as small skin-colored or yellow papules. Eruptive syringomas are rare variants that typically develop on the body's cutaneous anterior surface. Syringomas on the genital area have rarely been reported, although several authors maintain that syringoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pubic pruritic papular dermatitis. We present a case of a 31-year-old man with multiple, eruptive, asymptomatic papules involving the pubic area developed after waxing of the zone. Histological examination revealed disseminated syringomata. We postulate that the lesions were induced by depilation with a subsequently reactive inflammatory process resulting in a hyperplastic reaction of the eccrine ducts. This case supports the previous hypothesis suggesting that some of the so-called "eruptive syringomas" may start as a primary inflammatory eccrine reaction.

“…14 The reason to treat syringoma is esthetic. In rare cases there is a need to treat the pruritus that can be present in the eruptive forms 15 and vulvar forms. The indicated therapeutic modalities aim to achieve careful and effective destruction or removal of the lesions and to avoid relapse and/or unnecessary unsightly scars.…”

BACKGROUND -Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors from intraepidermal eccrine ducts, treated by diverse surgical modalities with variable results. OBJECTIVES -1. To report our experience in surgical treatment of multiple periorbital syringomas excised by Castroviejo scissors followed by healing by secondary intention. 2. To present a literature review with emphasis on therapeutic aspects. MATERIAL AND METHOD -During 68 months we treated 38 cases of periorbital syringoma. All of them were submitted to surgical excision using Castroviejo scissors, followed by healing by secondary intention. Evaluation was done 7, 30 and 90 days after surgery. The mean follow-up period was 33 months, ranging from 3 to 62 months. RESULTS -The results were excellent in 24 patients (63.1%), good in 12 patients (31.6%) and regular in two patients (5.3%). The only immediate complication observed was edema; late complications were hypochromia (12 patients), depressed scar (one patient) and hypertrophic scar (one patient). Recurrences were not observed during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS -We concluded from our results that excision of periorbital syringomas by Castroviejo scissors followed by healing by secondary intention is a low cost, straightforward outpatient procedure.

“…The CO 2 laser has been established as a safe and relatively easy tool for the treatment of syringoma 1–3 . In many practices, it has replaced other procedures such as excision, chemical peeling, dermabrasion, and electrosurgical planing 4–10 . While this technique has been beneficial, it also has limitations, including scarring, pigmentary changes, and recurrence 4–10 .…”
