Syringoma of the Palate-A Rare Presentation
Abstract
Syringoma is a benign adenexal neoplasm formed by well differentiated ductal elements. They are tumors of eccrine origin commonly found over upper part of cheek, lower eyelid, axilla, chest, abdomen, penis and vulva. A 40 year male reported in the OPD with an asymptomatic swelling over the hard palate for the past 15 year. The tumor was excised and sent for histopathological examination. Histological examination showed clusters of eccrine ducts lined by doubled layer epithelial cells. Lumen showed keratinous accellular eosinophillic material suggestive of Syringoma. The case of Syringoma is being reported for its unusual presentation over the palate suggesting it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of various swelling of the palate
