Eccrine syringofibroadenoma in a patient with erosive palmoplantar lichen planus.
We report the case of an 82-year-old woman with a 6-year history of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus associated with eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA). Examination revealed a well-demarcated patche writish of reticulated whitish papular lesions in skin of otherwise normal appearance at the border of erosive lichen planus plaques. These lesions had the histological appearance of ESFA. We suggest that these lesions are induced by the inflammatory remodelling associated with erosive lichen planus and propose to consider ESFA in the context of skin tissue remodelling as a new subtype of ESFA.
