Syringocystadenoma papilliferum of sweat gland of caruncle: A unique case report

Anuradha Raj, RC Nagpal, Meena Harsh, Harsh BahadurMiddle East African Journal of Ophthalmology 2017 24(2):103-105Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign hamartomatous malformation of skin which arises from apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. Skin of the head and neck is the usual site for this but rarely involves the eyelids. It is also called as a childhood tumor since it usually appears at birth or during puberty. The diagnosis is confirmed on histopathological examination after surgical excision. We are first to report a case of SP involving the caruncle in an elderly female.
