Dermoscopy of eccrine poroma

Dermatology. 2007;215(2):160-3. doi: 10.1159/000104270.

Abstract

Eccrine poroma (EP) may clinically mimic a number of benign and malignant skin tumors. Dermoscopy improves the clinical diagnosis of many pigmented and nonpigmented skin tumors, but to date little is known about the impact of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of EP. We report 2 patients with EP and discuss the diagnostic significance of the observed dermoscopic findings.
