Description
Summary:Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum (SCAP) is a benign adnexal tumor which most frequently arises from an organoid nevus on the head and neck. Although they are rarely found on the trunk and limbs, we treated a case of this disorder on the lower leg. A 26‐year‐old man had an asymptomatic tumor on his lower leg. Histopathological examination showed it to be a typical SCAP on organoid nevus. This is the first report of SCAP on the lower leg.
