Clear cells of eccrine glands in a patient with clear cell syringoma associated with diabetes mellitus.
We report a patient who presented with clear cell syringomata concomitant with diabetes mellitus. Also prominent were increased numbers of clear cells within the eccrine glands. This observation of increased numbers of clear cells in eccrine glands of diabetic patients may represent another skin finding that is related to diabetes mellitus.
