Type: article

Abstract: Eccrine poroma is a benign sweat gland tumor. The palm and sole are common sites for these tumors. It rarely involve the facial region and has been exceptional reported in the nose. We report a case of nasal eccrine poroma. A 45-year-old male presented with a nodule on the nose tip for the last 16 years. It started as a pink-colored papule that gradually grew to the present size tumor. An excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of eccrine poroma. Eccrine poroma is a rare benign sweat gland tumor. It resembles to other more common malignant skin tumors. The nose is exceptionally involved. Its potentially malignant transformation and its unaesthetic appearance justify its removal. Eccrine poroma is a benign tumor for which a misdiagnosis may lead to large amputation in especially aesthetically sensitive regions.
