title: Milia with calcium deposits on the palms and soles in a patient with multiple syringoma.
abstract: An 8-year-old girl was referred for evaluation of multiple lesions on the neck, axillae, and genitalia. A great number of milia-like lesions were also noticed on the palms and discrete keratotic plugs on the soles. Histopathology from lesions on the neck, axilla, and vulva were consistent with syringoma. On the palms and soles, eccrine ducts cystically dilated filled with proteinaceous material and calcifications were found. Although the nature of palmar and plantar lesions in our patient is uncertain, we think that they should be related to the other syringomas on her skin.
