Abstract: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is a rare, hamartomatous tumor of the apocrine glands, which typically manifests in the head and neck region. We present a case of 60-year-old male with a several-year history of the lesion located on the abdominal wall and a second case of a 58-year-old male with a history of a slow-growing lesion located on the tragus. Despite varying presentations and locations, both patients were identified to have SCAP on pathological evaluation. Appropriate treatments of SCAP range from CO2 laser treatment to surgical excision; we recommend surgical excision due to the risk of malignant transformation.<br />Competing Interests: None declared.<br /> (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2023.)
