Rare case of recurrent eccrine poroma in the gluteal region treated by excision

Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm originating from epidermal sweat ducts mainly affecting the palmoplantar skin. This is the first reported case of recurrent poroma in the buttock.
The incidence of poroma is approximately 0.001%–0.008% of all skin biopsy specimens and usually presents as a painless, solitary lesion, usually affecting the palms, the soles, or the feet. EP is less commonly reported in the finger, posterior side of the hand, chest, forehead, nose, and scalp . To date, very limited cases of poroma on the buttock region have reported in the literature but no recurrent poromas were reported at this anatomical site.
