title: Eruptive syringoma: 27 new cases and review of the literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Eruptive syringomas are uncommon eccrine sweat gland tumours. Only 64 cases have been reported in the literature.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Clinical findings of 27 patients with eruptive syringomas were reviewed over a 47-year period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The tumours appeared as multiple yellow-brown-coloured papules localized on the neck, anterior trunk, axillae, shoulders, abdomen or pubic area. This disorder occurs more frequently among women, and is frequent in the prepubertal as well as in the postpubertal age. The diagnosis was not clinically suspected in most cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Eruptive syringomas have to be considered in differential diagnosis of papular dermatosis at any age.
