We present a case of a 43-year-old woman with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, on adalimumab, methotrexate, and risedronate, who developed pruritic, skin-colored papules on the dorsal hands. A biopsy revealed features consistent with syringomas. Syringomas are benign eccrine duct tumors that typically appear as small, shiny papules, most often in the periorbital area but can also present in acral regions.
