Abstract:
A 78-year-old white male presented with metastatic sweat gland carcinoma involving regional lymph nodes, pleura, pericardium, and chest wall. A complete response of three months duration was achieved by using a 96-hour infusion of 5-fluorouracil. This is the first report of a complete response to systemic chemotherapy in metastatic sweat gland carcinoma.
