Abstract
Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors that occur most commonly in women. The y typically present as soft, flesh-colored to slightly yellow papules on th e lower eyelids. We present an unusual case of a healthy 33-year-old male w ith multiple, reddish brown syringomas located on the lower abdomen, thighs , and groin. Although these lesions can result in significant cosmetic disf igurement, treatment options are limited and generally disappointing.
