Jagadish B. Hedawoo, Vipul Gupta
Abstract :
Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignant adnexal tumour of ductal portion of eccrine sweat gland. It commonly occurs in older age group, common site being lower extremities and rarely in scalp, face, ear, trunk and upper extremities. Local recurrence and metastasis to skin, lymph nodes, viscera and bone may occur. Surgery is the treatment modality of choice. Metastatic lesions can be treated with chemotherapy. We report an unusual case of eccrine porocarcinoma of scalp in a 85 years old female patient arising over right fronto–parietal region. Diagnosis is quite challenging by clinical examination alone, hence histopathology and immunohistochemistry form the mainstay for early diagnosis and treatment. Till date, only one case of eccrine porocarcinoma on fronto–parietal region has been described in literature akin to our case.
