Abstract
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is benign hamartomatous adnexal tumor commonly occurring in childhood. Our patient was a 58-year-old lady presenting with an asymptomatic plaque on the scalp for past 6 years and postmenopausal bleeding for 8 months. Histopathological examination of scalp lesion confirmed the diagnosis of syringocystadenoma papilliferum which is known to be associated with mutations of genes like KRAS, PTCH. The patient also underwent surgical removal of uterine leiomyoma which is also associated with KRAS mutation.
