Eccrine porocarcinoma, a rare sweat duct cancer, affects patients 19-90 years old. Wide surgical excision is the primary treatment, with adjunctive therapy value unproven.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignancy originating from the eccrine sweat duct unit.
  • This review contributes to the 79 reported cases, detailing the disease's natural history and pathology.

Observation:

  • Patient ages range from 19 to 90 years.
  • Lesions exhibit no specific site predilection, appearing wherever sweat glands are present.
  • A significant 39% of patients presented with metastases (cutaneous, lymph node, or visceral).

Findings:

  • The study reviews the natural history and pathological findings of eccrine porocarcinoma.
  • Wide surgical excision is identified as the primary treatment modality.
  • The efficacy of adjunctive therapies remains unproven.
