ABSTRACT

Syringoma is a benign neoplasm of eccrine origin. Lesions often arise around the eyes and on the upper cheeks of middle-aged women. Syringomas involving the genitalia are rare, they present as multiple, bilateral, skin-colored papules over the labia majora. The lesions should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple papular lesions of the vulva. We report two females of 37 and 62 years of age, both observed in a dermatological service.
