Linear syringocystadenoma papilliferum: an uncommon event with a favorable prognosis

Dermatol Online J. 2011 Aug 15;17(8):5.

Abstract

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor of uncertain histogenesis. Various authors have postulated that the tumor differentiates toward apocrine gland, eccrine gland, or the apo-eccrine gland. We present a patient with an unusual linear form.
