eccrine porocarcinoma with an extensive compromise of the sternum and thoracic wall a case report
2017
1. Abstract An Eccrine
porocarcinoma is a very rare skin tumor that is originated in the sweat glands
in the acrosyringium cells. This tumor may derive from a long standing benign
lesion and occurs more frequently in the lower extremities, in elderly patients
and with a low potentially of lymph node metastases. We present a 62
years old patient, with a rare presentation of a porocarcinoma with an
extensive compromise of the sternum and the thoracic wall. This presents a
difficult challenge for treatment, due to the size, ulceration and
infiltration, that required a wide local excision, a bilateral axillary
dissection and a multidisciplinary approach for a clean margin and coverage.
