Summary
Eccrine carcinoma, a rare skin cancer, can mimic breast cancer metastasis. Definitive diagnosis requires advanced testing, distinguishing it from metastatic disease for appropriate treatment.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Eccrine carcinoma is a rare skin adnexal malignancy.
- It presents as a solitary lesion, often in the head and neck.
- Histopathology can make it difficult to distinguish from breast cancer metastasis.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
