ABSRACT: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is very rare skin adnexal tumour of apocrine gland origin located primarily on the scalp and appearing as a hairless nodular or plaque lesion. It is said to be common at birth or during puberty but cases in adults have also been reported. We have reported a case of scalp swelling in 22-year-young female. She was first clinically diagnosed with nevus sebaceous but later histopathologically confirmed to have syringocystadenoma papilliferum.
