Abstract
Apocrine carcinoma is a rare and potentially highly aggressive cutaneous adenocarcinoma, normally seen in areas rich in apocrine glands. An apocrine carcinoma was diagnosed following excisional biopsy of a nasal rim lesion and expert review of the histology. It represents the first reported case in this area. Following exclusion of further lesions by PET CT, a wide local excision was performed curatively, followed by a three-stage reconstruction with a nasolabial flap to correct the defect. Management of such rare lesions is difficult and is best directed, as in this case, by specialist pathological input and through a specialist MDT.
Level of Evidence: Level V, diagnostic study.
