“…Non-descript clinical presentation in an unusual location leads to misdiagnosis. [2] The only treatment for SCAP is excision biopsy, which also confirms the diagnosis. CO 2 laser excision of SCAP of the head and neck is a clinical treatment option in anatomic areas unfavorable to excision and grafting.…”

A 28-year-old man presented with a partially eroded growth on the back of his right thigh for the last 15 years. Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis and pyogenic granuloma were suspected on clinical examination. Histopathological examination revealed syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP). SCAP is rare on the thigh and a review of the English literature revealed eight cases. Non-descript clinical presentation in an unusual location and the rare linear and segmental variants lead to misdiagnosis. Onset at puberty should alert one to the possibility of the unusual location of SCAP.

“…Uncommon sites of occurrence include chest, arms, breast, eyelids, axilla, scrotum, lower limb and inguinal and perineal regions. [2,3] Most of these are sporadic cases diagnosed on histopathology, clinical presentation being non-specific and misleading. Although an apocrine origin has been postulated, SCAP is rare in the axilla.…”

“…12 There have been 2 different primary lesions described: most often presenting as a solitary raised warty plaque and uncommonly one to several papules in a linear arrangement. [13][14][15][16][17][18] The lesions are often dark brown, gray, or reddened. Their surface may be flat and smooth or papillomatous or verrucous.…”

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) most frequently arises from an organoid nevus on the head and neck. Zonal or segmental lesions occurring in other locations are rare. Here, we report a case of a 39-year-old woman with an SCAP clinically mimicking verruca vulgaris in a zonal distribution on her right axilla after her birth. Histopathologic examination showed it to be a typical SCAP. Furthermore, the tumor had a warty surface, which histologically revealed some signs of viral infection. Although polymerase chain reactions for low- and high-risk human papilloma virus types were negative, the relationship of SCAP with viral infection needs further investigation.

“…The lesion differentiates toward apocrine, eccrine, or apo-eccrine glands in the scalp or face, and occurs less frequently on the trunk and extremities. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The typical appearance is a solitary hairless plaque, but it may present as one to several small papules. Solitary lesions are usually between 1 and 4 cm in diameter, skin-colored, and may be flat and smooth or raised and exophytic.…”

“…Smaller papular lesions are less common and have a tendency to occur in a linear pattern. 3,[8][9][10] During puberty or pregnancy, a childhood neoplasm may increase in size rapidly, and a nodular or verrucous transformation may occur. Larger ulcerated lesions may produce a serous drainage or keratinous debris.…”
