Summary

This report details a rare case of porocarcinoma, a malignant eccrine tumor, developing in the nail bed of a patient with a history of chronic X-ray exposure. This finding highlights the importance of considering porocarcinoma in subungual tumor diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Chronic radiodermatitis is a known risk associated with prolonged X-ray exposure.
  • Subungual tumors require careful differential diagnosis due to their location and potential for malignancy.

Observation:

  • A patient with a history of occupational X-ray exposure presented with chronic radiodermatitis on the digits.
  • An ulcerated lesion was observed in the lateral nail fold of the right third digit, extending into the nail bed.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the lesion to be a malignant eccrine poroma, also known as porocarcinoma.
  • This represents the first reported instance of porocarcinoma occurring in the nail bed location.

Implications:

  • Porocarcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis for any subungual malignant tumors.
  • Understanding the link between chronic radiation exposure and rare skin malignancies like porocarcinoma is crucial for early detection and treatment.
