Eccrine porocarcinoma arising in two African American patients: distinct presentations both treated with Mohs micrographic surgery
Alissa Cowden et al. Int J Dermatol. 2006 Feb.
Abstract
Abstract Background Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare, malignant adnexal tumor that has been reported only three times specifically in African American individuals. Diagnosis and treatment of EPC is important, given the 20% local recurrence and regional metastatic rates. However, no standard of care has been developed to guide effective treatment. Methods We report two distinct clinical presentations of EPC, both in African Americans, and discuss a review of the literature. Results The neoplasms were successfully removed from both patients by Mohs micrographic surgery. Conclusions These two cases illustrate that EPC can have a variety of presentations and can occur in African Americans. Although there is no standard of care for treating EPC, Mohs is becoming a common technique of removing these lesions.
