Jae-Bong Lee et al. Dermatol Surg. 2003 Jul.

Abstract

Background: Hidroacanthoma simplex (HAS) is an uncommon eccrine neoplasm of the skin. It is a benign neoplasm, but some cases of malignant change were reported in the literature.

Objective: To describe a rare case of porocarcinoma in a relatively short period from pre-existing HAS on the abdomen.

Methods: Wide local excision was performed on this neoplasm.

Results: There was no recurrence for 72 months after wide excision. CONCLUSION. : We recommend an early excision and careful attention in the case of HAS because of its potential malignant change.
