Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
Malignant eccrine spiradenoma (synonym, spiradenocarcinoma) is an extremely rare malignant adnexal tumor of the skin that originate in the sweat glands. It almost always arises from a preexisting benign eccrine spiradenoma, rarely it may arise de novo. We report a case of a 65-year-old lady with malignant eccrine spiradenoma of the face. The face mass was present for approximately 5 years, suddenly it became enlarged, ulcerated, tender, with a change in its color over a period of four months. The mass was excised & received in our department. Histopathological report confirmed it to be a case of malignant eccrine spiradenoma. The tumor has a poor prognosis due to multiple local recurrences & eventual widespread metastases. Wide local excision and close follow up are crucial in the management of malignant eccrinespiradenoma.
