Giant linear syringocystadenoma papilliferum on scalp

Abstract

An examination of her scalp showed a linear lesion, highly elevated, moist, fetid, vegetated and pinkish, measuring 8 x 3 x 2cm in diameter, on the left side of the occiput with an extension to the nape of her neck [Figure 1]. [2],[4] The lesions of SCAP measure between 1 and 3 cm in diameter [3] and all published cases of nodular SCAP have to date measured [4] A vast majority of SCAPs are solitary lesions, and linear arrangement of these lesions is particularly rare.
