JEGADEESH SUNDARAM

Abstract


A 55 year old male patient presented
with a swelling with ulceroproliferative
lesion over left thigh with left inguinal
lymphadenopathy for 8 months. Clinically
it appeared to be squamous cell carcinoma.
Fine needle aspiration cytology
surprisingly revealed a malignant
adnexal tumor which was confirmed by
wedge biopsy. Metastatic work up done
and the Patient was treated with wide
local excision and left ilio-inguinal block
dissection with post operative Radiotherapy.
Post operative histopathology revealed
an Eccrine hidradenocarcinoma.
The case is presented for its rarity, as
Eccrine carcinoma accounts for only
0.005 percent of all skin cancers.
