S. Chen et al., FAMILIAL ECCRINE SYRINGOFIBROADENOMATOSIS WITH ASSOCIATED OPHTHALMOLOGIC ABNORMALITIES, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 39(2), 1998, pp. 356-358
Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare benign adnexal tumor, gen
erally with sporadic occurrence and not linked to other diseases. Only
one familial occurrence of ESFA has been reported. We describe the fa
milial occurrence of multiple ESFAs in a father and his two sons, all
of whom also had similar eyelid abnormalities and progressive corneal
scarring. This description of hereditary ESFA is the first to link ESF
A with periocular and ocular abnormalities.
