Cutaneous examination revealed three discrete pedunculated, non-tender, firm erythematous growths with smooth surfaces over the neck, chest and abdomen. Histopathological examination was done with the differentials of pyogenic granuloma, haemangioma, giant acrochordon and vascular metastasis, revealing the diagnosis of eccrine poroma (EP). The remaining lesions were removed by electrocautery with no relapse till 1 year of follow-up. EP is a rare benign neoplasm arising from the acrosyringium that commonly presents as solitary, sessile or pedunculated asymptomatic papules or nodules over the palms and soles. Here we report the rare occurrence of multiple pedunculated EPs on a non-acral site in a patient who received chemoradiotherapy, which clinically mimicked pyogenic granuloma and vascular metastases. Thus, emphasising the importance of considering EP as a differential in lesions with vascular morphology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2024-261587","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,12]],"date-time":"2024-08-12T07:56:34Z","timestamp":1723449394000},"page":"e261587","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pedunculated eccrine poromas on non-acral sites"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Amuthavalli","family":"Kanagarajan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harshitha","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Priyadarshini Kumaraswamy","family":"Rajeswaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082804045997000_17.8.e261587.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.4103\/2229-5178.160296","article-title":"Eccrine poroma","volume":"6","author":"Wankhade","year":"2015","journal-title":"Indian Dermatol Online J"},{"key":"2025082804045997000_17.8.e261587.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1053","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.12448","article-title":"Poroma: a review of eccrine, apocrine, and malignant forms","volume":"53","author":"Sawaya","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Dermatol"},{"key":"2025082804045997000_17.8.e261587.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"C\u00e1rdenas P\u00e9rez ML , D\u00edaz G\u00f3mez CJ , Rueda Plata R . n.d.
