Giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma presenting as a thrombosed varix

Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign adnexal tumor of the sweat gland. Giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma is a rare variant of eccrine spiradenoma, characterized by its large size and florid vascularity. Its rarity and clinical appearance give rise to typical misdiagnosis as angiomatous lesions. We prese...
