title: Eruptive syringomas.
abstract: We report the case of a seventeen-year-old woman with a rare presentation of a common appendageal tumor, the eruptive syringoma. We treated her with the retinoid isotretinate, which we had hoped would result in prevention or reduction of new tumors and disappearance of pre-existing lesions. The syringomas remained stable throughout our treatment effort and new lesions continued to appear.
