【 摘 要 】

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an uncommon and aggressive type of skin cancer that originates from the intraepidermal component of the sweat gland apparatus, also known as acrosyringium [1]. The first case was reported in 1963 by Pinkus and Mehregan. The authors referred to this tumour as “epidermotropic eccrine carcinoma” [2], whereas Mishma and Moriok in 1969, were the first ones to coin the term “eccrine porocarcinoma” [3] and focused on the common histopathologic transformation of the benign form of eccrine poroma to its subsequent malignant counterpart.
