Recurrent Eccrine Porocarcinoma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 9
Abstract
Eccrine porocarcinoma is a very rarely seen malignant skin tumour which originates from the intra-epithelial section of the eccrine sweat glands. They are generally seen in the elderly and are most often located in the lower extremities. This tumour which has a poor prognosis and displays different biological behaviour, often has a tendency to recurrence and metastasis is seen in the skin and lymph nodes. The basis of treatment is surgical excision and if there is lymph node involvement, regional lymph node dissection must be applied. The case is here presented of a 67-year old patient with eccrine porocarcinoma which developed in the inguinal region and showed recurrence.
