What is Syringoma?

Syringoma is a type of benign skin tumor that comes from sweat glands. The term "Syringoma" derived from the Latin root, which means "tube", is a reference to a structure similar to a tube of a sweat gland where the tumor begins to grow. These benign neoplasms are most commonly treated when they become an aesthetic problem, or when a doctor wants to confirm that growth is truly benign, and remove it for biopsy because it is better than it is about abnormal skin growth. They look like small lumps embedded under the skin and sometimes appear in an eruptive form in which several syringes, scattered through the skin suddenly appear. These growth are sometimes confused with xanthomas, collections of cholesterol under the skin, which also have a characteristic lump appearance.

The physician can often diagnose a syringe by physical examination and patient conversation to learn more about when the growth occurred for the first time and whether it is or not painful. However, some doctors may ask if they can take a sample to BIOpsia that the pathologist can explore some of the growth cells to see if they have any qualities that could lead a doctor to conclude that growth is something other than a syringe. In this case, the biopsy can be performed quickly in the doctor's office.

These growth are usually not painful. Some patients can choose and create a rattle area that can be itchy or painful, and sometimes Syringomas makes it difficult to use make -up. They can also attract undesirable attention, especially in the case of eruptive growth.

There are options for removing injection devices for patients who would like to remove growth. These options include lasering or cutting to remove growth. However, patients should be aware that these methods can leave scarring and that growth can sometimes be repeated. In assessing treatment options, it is good to talk to a dermatologist to learn more about the latest available treatments and side effects and risksany available treatment.
