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.

Key words:
eccrine poroma
adnexal skin tumor
dermoscopy
Resumen

El poroma ecrino (PE) es una neoplasia anexial benigna que puede simular clínicamente tumores cutáneos malignos como el carcinoma epidermoide o el melanoma amelanótico. Recientemente se han descrito las características dermatoscópicas del PE pigmentado y no pigmentado. Presentamos 2 casos de PE con sus características dermatoscópicas. Ambos casos se caracterizan por presentar múltiples lagunas rojas y un patrón vascular polimorfo. La dermatoscopia puede mejorar el diagnóstico clínico de estas tumoraciones anexiales benignas.

Palabras clave:
