Eccrine syringofibroadenoma radiation treatment of an unusual presentation

Dermatol Ther. 2010 Jan-Feb:23 Suppl 1:S20-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1529-8019.2009.01282.x.

Abstract

Benign skin diseases have seldom been treated with radiotherapy, unless resistant to other treatments. Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare benign eccrine tumor. ESFA very rarely presents bilateral lesions, and seldom a nonsurgical treatment has been proposed. An exceptional case of bilateral ESFA of the foot is presented; radiotherapy was effective in treating both lesions with good cosmetic results.
