    Abstract:
    Eccrine spiradenoma (ES) is a benign uncommon tumor of skin adnexa with a characteristic clinical and histopathological presentation. Typically, it presents as a painful, slow growing and solitary nodule on the head or upper trunk in adult patients. We report a child with linear ES which presented with asymptomatic papulonodular lesions in a blaschkoid distribution on the face. Cases reported in the literature of multiple spiradenomas are very rare and multiple linear lesions are even rarer. To date, 21 cases of linear/multiple ES have been reported. Of these, eight were in children or adolescents. We report an additional case of this rare clinical presentation and review the literature.
