Abstract

An 11-year-old boy presented generalized eruptive syringomas (ESs) associated with multiple milia-like whitish palmar papules corresponding to dermal calcium deposits. A relationship between calcium deposits distribution to an underlying eccrine duct was noted on pathology. The observation of dermal calcium deposits and its association with generalized ESs may support a possible sweat duct origin of this uncommon and peculiar form of superficial calcinosis cutis.

Keywords: calcinosis cutis; syiringoma.
