Syringocystoma. Presented by DR. MAX J. WOLFF.

Mrs. V. N., a 30 year old white woman, has noticed gradually increasing numbers of lesions since the age of 14. She now shows numerous reddish yellow, pinhead-sized to match head—sized, roundish, dome-shaped or flat, soft nodules distributed symmetrically in the clavicular, suprasternal and sternal regions, with fewer lesions on the lower part of the chest, front of the neck and lower eyelids.

Histologic examination of one of the nodules showed normal epidermis with the basement membrane intact.

Epithelial bands extended from some of the cysts.
