Abstract

Eccrine poroma is an uncommon appendage skin neoplasm originating from the terminal distal portion of the sweat glands annexed to the skin. This benign affection commonly appears as a skin colored papules or nodules localized on the extremities. Its pathogenesis may be secondary to trauma scars. We present a case of pigmented eccrine poroma localized on the face, with clinic and dermoscopic appearance similar to basal cell carcinoma.
