Aggressive Digital Papillary Adenocarcinoma (ADPCA) of heel with Distant Lung Metastasis: A Rare Presentation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma (ADPCA) is rare tumour of the sweat glands, characterised by lesions on the fingers, toes and the digits. The lesion is serious but often overlooked because it is confused clinically with benign and non-tumorous entities. Here, we present an interesting case of ADPCA in a 55- year-old male, suspected clinically as pyogenic granuloma, with the initial excision biopsy indicating a malignant tumour in the sweat gland. The histopathological features were studied in detail, along with required markers. The documentation of such malignant tumour is limited in literature. It requires a high index of suspicion and a prudent approach while dealing with all masses arising in the extremities.
