ABSTRACT
Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign tumor which probably originats in the coil of the eccrine sweat gland. It usually presents as a solitary, slowly-growing, sometimes painful, reddish-brown, and intradermal or deeply subcutaneous nodule on the head and trunk. More than 97% of eccrine spiradenoma appear as solitary lesions. Occasionally, it may appear as multiple lesions, however they are rarely arranged in a linear or zosteriform distribution. A search of literature revealed only 17 internationally reported cases of linear or zosteriform eccrine spiradenomas, including 4 Korean cases. We herein present an unusual case of eccrine spiradenoma, showing multiple, large nodules with zosteriform distribution.
