    RationaleEccrine poroma, a benign cutaneous neoplasm originating from the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct, is relatively common in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the 1 presenting as spindle-shaped plaque is extremely rare and easily misdiagnosed as seborrheic keratosis or other dermatoses. Thus, the current study demonstrates a case of eccrine poroma with unique clinical manifestation.Patients ConcernsA 47-year-old man presented with a spindle-shaped plaque on his left sole for 6 years.DiagnosesBased on the clinical and histopathological manifestations, diagnosis of eccrine poroma was established.InterventionsSurgical excision under local anesthesia was performed.OutcomesNo recurrence or malignant transformation occurred within 6-month follow-up.LessonsEccrine poroma typically presents as a dome-shaped nodule on palm or sole.
