چکیده
CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigens EP: Eccrine poroma E ccrine poroma (EP) is a benign neoplasm of the eccrine terminal duct, composed of epithelial cells that show tubular differentiation. EP often presents as a reddish nodule with a predilection for the distal extremities. This report describes a lesion with the clinical and dermoscopic findings of a seborrheic keratosis. However, histopathologic examination found an alternative diagnosis of pigmented EP on the palm, a rare variant of EP in a highly unusual location.

Hidroacanthoma simplex (HAS), also known as intraepidermal eccrine poroma, is a rare eccrine adnexal tumor that tends to be misdiagnosed as other types of benign skin tumor, including clonal seborrheic keratosis. Notably, HAS is sometimes misdiagnosed and treated by cryosurgery as seborrheic keratosis, which could trigger the later development of porocarcinoma. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of ...
