Abstract
Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign hamartomatous adnexal tumour which originates from the apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. It is typically present over the head or neck region at birth and often enlarges at puberty. Approximately one-third of SP develops within nevus sebaceous. The nodular variety usually presents over the trunk however, in our case it presented over the scalp.
