Abstract |
Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia is a histologic finding associated with chemotherapy administration and other cutaneous diseases. Concentration of the chemotherapeutic agents is believed to effect toxic changes in these epithelial structures. We report the first case of vincristine-induced eccrine squamous syringometaplasia in a 12-year-old patient undergoing treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma.
