Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm often mistaken for pyogenic granuloma, skin tag, squamous cell carcinoma, and other soft-tissue tumors. We describe a 69-year-old woman with a soft-tissue mass on the lateral aspect of her right hallux that was initially clinically diagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma. Histologic examination proved that this mass was instead an eccrine poroma, the rare benign sweat gland tumor. This case exemplifies the importance of a broad differential diagnosis, especially regarding soft-tissue masses of the lower extremity.

This case detailing a poroma in Fitzpatrick Type V skin presents gross, dermatoscopic, and histopathologic images that have not been adequately represented in the literature. Diagnosing poroma can be challenging and misdiagnoses can have tragic consequences. The scarcity of published poroma images in darker skin types can further complicate this problem.

Eccrine poroma is a rare adult benign adnexal tumor that originates in the excretory pore of the sweat gland. It is a small reddish lesion, protuberant, fleshy, and well-defined. It is located preferably in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet [1]. Nevertheless, it may be found on any skin part of the body's surface [2]. We report a case of eccrine poroma of relatively rare localization on the second toe of the left foot. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis by objectifying the histological lesions corresponding with the poroma. The article aims to report an eccrine poroma located in an unusual location, surgical treatment, and follow-up.

Eccrine poroma is the term that includes benign neoplasms of the terminal duct of the eccrine sweat glands, which may clinically and dermoscopically resemble other melanoma and non-melanoma skin tumors. They are often located on the extremities (especially palms and soles), presenting as normochromic or erythematous papules and nodules, measuring up to 2 cm. Pigmented variants are uncommon, accounting for less than 20% of cases. This report describes a 37-year-old man who developed a large pigmented eccrine poroma on his right shoulder, causing diagnostic difficulty. Histopathological examination revealed a nodular neoplasm consisting of small, monomorphic, cuboidal cells, with ample, eosinophilic cytoplasm and well-defined borders, in addition to conspicuous intercellular bridges, with melanin deposits diffusely distributed inside them. The absence of cytological atypia, cellular pleomorphism, increased mitotic activity, and necrosis foci corroborated the diagnostic exclusion of porocarcinoma, which can develop from eccrine poroma.

Actas Dermo-sifiliograficas Feb 2023Poroma is a benign, exclusively cutaneous, adnexal tumor with a predilection for palmoplantar skin.
BACKGROUND
Poroma is a benign, exclusively cutaneous, adnexal tumor with a predilection for palmoplantar skin.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical characteristics of poroma in our population.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with poroma between 2002 and 2021. We conducted a chart review to record age; sex; number, location, and diameter of lesions; time since onset; clinical characteristics; suspected clinical diagnosis; resection margin status; recurrences; and follow-up duration. Categorical variables were compared using the Fisher exact test. Continuous variables were compared using the t test or the Mann-Whitney U test depending on whether they were normally or nonnormally distributed.
RESULTS
We studied 80 patients (31 women and 49 men) with a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 65.5 (29) years. Median time since onset of poroma was 12 (21) months. Median lesion diameter was 8(7)mm, and none of the patients had multiple lesions. The lesions were located on the head and neck in 13 cases, the trunk in 13, the upper extremities in 11, and the lower extremities in 43. Twenty-three lesions (28.8%) were located at acral sites (5 on the palms and 18 on the soles). Women were more likely to have scalp lesions (P=.041). Acral lesions were more likely to be erythematous (P=.014). Five patients experienced local recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS
Although poromas are particularly common in acral locations (especially the feet), most of the lesions in our series (71.3%) were located elsewhere. Acral lesions were more likely to show the classic clinical features of erythema and exophytic growth.

BACKGROUND
Eccrine poroma is a rare, benign skin appendage tumor originating from the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct, which typically occurs on the sides and soles of the feet. Nonetheless, eccrine poroma may be found in any skin area bearing sweat glands.
OBJECTIVE
Herein we report a case of an eccrine poroma in an unusual location, the surgical management of the condition, and follow-up processes.
