Abstract
Background:Eccrine squamous synringometaplasia is a benign adaptive metaplasia that occurs in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. It Is associated with chemotherapy or other dermatological disorders, particularly inflammatory conditions. We present a case of an inflammatory rosacea associated with squamous metaplasia in a female patient.
Observation: A 68-year-old female presented with a chronic skin eruption consisting of translucent and angioma-like papules, accompanied by a flushing sensation on the face. Dermoscopy revealed milium grains and an angioma-like background. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of erythematopapular rosacea associated with focal malpighian squamous syringometaplasia.
Conclusion: Squamous syringometaplasia can be linked to inflammatory dermatoses, such as rosacea. The inflammatory infiltrate is implicated in eccrine metaplasia, which, in turn, may contribute to an uncommon presentation of rosacea.
