ABSTRACT

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is clinically characterized by verrucous nodules or plaques, mainly observed on the scalp during childhood.

Histopathologically, epidermal invagination showing luminal epithelial cells with decapitation secretion is diagnostic.

Herein, we describe an unusual late-onset case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum mimicking basal cell carcinoma on the face. (Turk J Dermatol 2012; 6: 21-3)
