Abstract:
Eccrine Porocarcinoma (EPC) is an important and often overlooked differential diagnosis for the more common Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). Thus, it is important for clinicians to recognize it and formulate treatment accordingly. A case report typifying the pitfalls in the diagnosis of this neoplasm in relation to SCC is presented.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis.

The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
