Syringoma is a benign, adnexal tumor of eccrine sweat duct origin, for which familial eruptive forms have rarely been reported. We present the case of a 20-year-old Thai female who had a history of moyamoya disease and who developed numerous, widespread, skin-colored to hyperpigmented papules over the face, trunk, both axillae, and the groins. A skin biopsy confirmed syringoma. Her mother was also affected with the same lesions on her face. In addition, we conducted a literature review of cases of familial eruptive syringoma reported worldwide.
