Syringoma presenting as milia

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1987 Feb;16(2 Pt 1):310-4. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(87)70041-3.

Abstract

We present two unrelated patients with numerous infraocular milium-like lesions that histologically revealed syringoma with many overlying keratin cysts in the papillary dermis. A Fontana-Masson stain revealed no melanin-containing cells in the keratin cyst walls, suggesting that they originated from eccrine ductal structures. A classification of the clinical variants of syringoma is presented.
