Progesterone receptor-positive eruptive syringoma associated with diabetes.

Abstract

Syringoma is a benign eccrine tumor that generally forms asymptomatic papules on facial skin. Eruptive forms of the tumor are uncommon and of uncertain cause. We report a case in which eruptive syringoma with clear cell morphology was found to express progesterone receptors, suggesting the possibility of hormonal control of the tumor.
