AGUILAR VAZQUEZ, Dalgis  and  FUENTES GOMEZ, Liliana. Plantar Eccrine Poroma. Presentation of a case. Multimed [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1  Epub Jan 12, 2022. ISSN 1028-4818.

Eccrine poromas are benign adnexal tumors that originate from the intraepidermal portion of the sweat gland duct, representing approximately 10% of all tumors of these glands. The classic variant of poroma is characterized by a skin-colored or erythematous papular-looking neoformation, with a predilection for the palms and soles. We present the case of a 53-year-old female patient with a history of type I diabetes mellitus who attended the dermatology clinic of the polyclinic in her health area due to a 2-year history of an asymptomatic lesion on the sole of her left foot. It started as a small ball, noticing that it was increasing in size, she first went to the podiatry consultation and was sent to our specialty, where she was evaluated and an eccrine poroma was clinically diagnosed. In the histopathological study it was of great value depending on the diagnostic orientation and the presence of this entity was specified. The case presented contributes to make visible the necessary review of the subject, taking into account that it represents a diagnostic challenge, due to its great morphological variety and histological studies are necessary.
