Axillary apocrine adenocarcinoma associated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Abstract Apocrine adenocarcinoma of the skin is a rare malignant tumor which usually presents as a single nodule in the axilla. A new case originating in the right axilla with bilateral axillary lymph node metastases is described. Six years later the patient developed a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. As far as we know this is the first time that this association has been described.
