“…There are several cases described in which an EPC originated from the site of a pre-existing Bowen disease 4, 5, 6. There are also cases described of lymph node metastases with unknown primary tumor that appeared to be metastasis of an eccrine porocarcinoma 7 .…”

“…Rather, pathological biopsy results should be the gold standard for differentiating the two diseases. They can be distinguished in that the nests of tumor cells in the malignant region of EPC are mostly composed of atypical eosinophilic squamous-cell-like cells and basal-cell-like cells, with the former being predominant [17]. The tumor nucleus is large and hyperchromatic and may be multinucleated or form multinucleated giant cells through pathological mitosis.…”

Background: Both eccrine poroma (EP) and eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) are accessory tumors originating from the eccrine glands. The former is a benign progression and the latter is a malignant tumor. We here report a case of these two diseases at the same site on the scalp of the same person. Case presentation: A 52-year old male patient complained that a few nodules were found on the top of his head. Two years after surgical excision, some other nodules appeared near the primary site and a skin ulcer formed in the surgical wound area. He was finally sent into hospital and followed the steps in the MOHS surgical procedure to remove all the skin lesions. Pathological analysis of the final excised tissue showed EP and EPC results, respectively. Conclusion: EP and EPC are often misdiagnosed by clinicians. These two diseases were found at the same site on the scalp of the same person, which is very rare. Early diagnosis and early surgical treatment are the keys to a good prognosis.

Backgroundporocarcinoma is a rare sort of skin cancer developing from sweat glands. Its clinical course and management are not well understood.Objectivesthe current meta-analysis is to address the presentation and management of porocarcinoma.Data sourcesWeb of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE on OVID and Google scholar were searched for English-language studies published before December 1, 2016.ResultsThe review of literature revealed 453 cases. From which 222 (49%) cases were male and female were 231 (51%). The mean age was 67.57 years. The mean duration of presentation was 5.57 years ranging from 4 days to 60 years of age. The most common site of affection is the head and neck (39.9%) followed by lower extremity (33.9%). Mass and nodule are the most common modes of presentation. Metastasis occurred at presentation in 110 (31%) cases. The most common organ to which porocarcinoma metastizes is the nearby lymph node (57.7%).ConclusionsPorocarcinoma is an aggressive skin cancer. Surgery is the main modality of treatment.Systematic review registration numberreviewregistry233.
