Abstract
Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a cutaneous malignancy that arises from the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct (acrosyringium). The eccrine sweat gland is a major sweat gland that is found in virtually all skin. EPC accounts for 0.005% to 0.01% of all cutaneous tumors. It predominantly occurs in elderly people who are more than 60 years old and has a female predominance [1]. As far as we know, only five cases of this medical condition have occurred on the abdomen since Pinkus and Mehregan first described EPS in 1963 [1],[2]. Here, we report an unusual case of a 65-year-old female patient with EPC that developed primarily on the abdomen.
