Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare adnexal tumor deriving from the acrosyringeal portion of the eccrine duct. Five subtypes of ESFA were described including a reactive form. Reactive ESFAs are associated with inflammatory and neoplastic dermatoses. In this article, we report the case of a 90-year-old woman presenting with 3 leg ulcers evolving for 2 years surrounded by large verrucous and eczematous lesions. Multiple skin biopsies showed anastomosing epithelial cords connected to the epidermis consistent with ESFA. We identified 8 cases of ESFA associated with chronic leg ulcers in the literature and reviewed their main clinical and histological features.
