Eccrine poroma: When dermoscopy is useful for diagnosis
View through CrossRef
Eccrine Poroma is a rare benign adnexal tumor. It presents the problem of differential diagnosis with several entities. Dermoscopic features are suggestive and may guide the diagnosis. We report a new observation. A 44-year-old woman, presented with an asymptomatic lesion on the dorsal side of the left foot for 2 years. Clinically the nodule was brownish, well delimited with superficial erosions, and firm on palpation. Dermoscopy showed linear and irregular vessels with perivascular white halos. Based on the clinical and dermoscopic features a diagnosis of eccrine poroma was made and confirmed by histological findings.
