Abstract

Introduction

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a very rare type of skin cancer. It is an aggressive dermatological malignancy. We presented a 62-year-old male with long history of a mass in left forearm complicated by distant metastasis and death. A rapid review of literature has been presented.

Conclusion

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare but aggressive type of skin disease. It may arise de novo or complicate a benign skin lesion. Wide local resection is recommended.
