Abstract

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a tumor of the sweat gland that mostly develops from an existing benign eccrine poroma. It is a rare cutaneous malignancy with a high risk of metastasis and recurrence. Known to affect the elderly population in general with no gender discrepancy, it presents as an ulcerative mass commonly in the trunk or head/neck region. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological findings of peculiar pleomorphic cells with nuclear hyperchromasia and mitotic activity, surrounded by ductal lumen. The standard treatment is complete surgical excision with appropriate surgical margins; adequate work-ups to look for metastasis and timely follow ups for chances of recurrence. Here we report a case of an 82-year-old patient who presented at our department with a long-standing exophytic lesion in the head that rapidly started growing in the past few weeks. After excisional biopsy and histopathology, the diagnosis of Eccrine porocarcinoma was made. Keywords: Cutaneous; eccrine porocarcinoma; malignancy; rare.

罕见的小汗腺多孔性癌。
汗腺腺孔癌是一种主要由良性汗腺孔瘤发展而来的汗腺肿瘤。它是一种罕见的皮肤恶性肿瘤,有很高的转移和复发风险。已知影响一般老年人群,无性别差异,它表现为溃疡性肿块,常见于躯干或头颈部区域。明确的诊断是通过组织病理学检查发现特殊的多形性细胞,核染色增多,有丝分裂活性,被导管管腔包围。标准的治疗方法是完全的手术切除和适当的手术切缘;充分的检查,以寻找转移和及时随访复发的机会。在此,我们报告一位82岁的患者,他在过去几周内出现了头部长期的外生性病变,并迅速开始生长。经切除活检及组织病理学检查,诊断为内分泌孔癌。关键词:皮肤;外分泌腺的porocarcinoma;恶性肿瘤;罕见的。
