Abstract

Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm that clinically may mimic malignant skin tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma and amelanotic melanoma. The dermoscopic features of pigmented and nonpigmented eccrine poroma have recently been described. We present 2 cases of eccrine poroma, with their dermoscopic features. The lesions were characterized by multiple red lacunes and a polymorphous vascular pattern in both cases. Dermoscopy can improve the clinical diagnosis of this benign adnexal skin tumor.
