Abstract
Eccrine poromas are benign tumors that arise from the eccrine sweat ducts, commonly presenting as solitary lesions. Eccrine poromatosis, the sudden eruption of multiple eccrine poromas, is a rare phenomenon that generally occurs in immunosuppressed patients at any time after receiving treatment for malignancy. We report a case of eccrine poromatosis in a 79-year-old male patient with a previous history of recurrent T-cell lymphoma. Over the course of his disease, he was treated with polychemotherapy, radiation, and a definitive bone marrow transplant. The patient presented to the dermatology clinic 18 years after his initial diagnosis with a new onset of pruritic papules on the neck and chest. Histologic evaluation revealed all lesions to be eccrine poromas. This is the longest reported time interval between initial diagnosis of a primary malignancy and development of eccrine poromatosis. There is no evidence at this time to suggest that appearance of such lesions is indicative of cancer recurrence; therefore, there is no indication for further oncologic evaluation.
