Background:
Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma, or microcystic adnexal carcinoma, is a rare neoplasm of the skin with both pilar and eccrine differentiation. Previously this neoplasm has been reported only in adults. We describe a case of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma in an 11-year-old white male.
Objective:
Description of Mohs surgical procedure for successful management of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma in a child.
Methods:
Mohs micrographic surgery was performed on this rare neoplasm.
Results:
The described procedure resulted in successful excision of this uncommon neoplasm.
Conclusion:
We present a case of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma, an unusual cutaneous neoplasm, in an 11-year-old male that was successfully managed using Mohs micrographic surgery.
