Eccrine poroma – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/862100410

Eccrine poroma is a benign tumour arising from eccrine duct epithelium of sweat-bearing skin. It most commonly develops in palmar or plantar skin where it presents as a moist, exophytic pink or red nodule, often with a surrounding keratinous collar. It can, however, be located on any area of the skin containing sweat glands, in which situation the diagnosis can rarely be made clinically.
