Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (acrosyringeal nevus) is a rare tumor of proliferating ductular structures resembling the acral portion of the eccrine duct. Our case describes a histologic variant showing nests of periodic acid Schiff-positive clear cells resembling the clear-cell variant of eccrine syringoma.

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare, benign, adnexal neoplasm thought to be eccrine ductal differentiation displaying variable clinical findings and characteristic histological features. It usually occurs as a solitary nodule on the extremities of an elderly person. Histological findings typically show a proliferation of anastomosing strands, cords, and columns of monomorphous epithelial cells that harbor eccrine duct formations embedded in a fibrovascular stroma. Acrosyringial nevus, though usually regarded as an identical lesion, is sometimes regarded as a different entity showing prominent plasma cell infiltration. We report two cases of solitary ESFA with prominent plasma cell infiltration. Clinicopathological features of both cases suggest that acrosyringeal nevus and ESFA may be of the same disease entity. Prominent plasma cell infiltration may be just one of the common histological features of ESFA.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly affects the elderly and is mostly confined to the head and neck region. Only 10% of all cases occur on the trunk. We presented a case of bullous lesion on the abdomen in a young male, initially diagnosed by clinicians as a vascular nevus. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed it to be Nodular cystic variant of BCC. This rare variant of BCC morphologically resembles benign skin adnexal tumor of Eccrine syringofibroadenoma. Ber Ep4 positivity on IHC established the correct diagnosis. This case highlights that nodular cystic variant of BCC can be a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians and pathologists.
