Eruptive syringomas in Down’s syndrome
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Down’s syndrome is a common chromosomal anomaly characterized by mental retardation and distinct physical appearance. It is associated with a large variety of dermatological disorders like anetoderma, cheilitis, cutis marmorata, elastosis perforans serpiginosa, fissured and geographic tongue, onychomycosis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, psoriasis, syringomas, alopecia areata and vitiligo. Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors which have been reported to occur with higher frequency among patients with Down’s syndrome. We report a case of eruptive syringomas over face and hand in an 8-year old child with Down’s syndrome.
