Eccrine Porocarcinoma

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignant cutaneous tumor with high rates of extracutaneous spread, and its diagnosis and management can be quite challenging. This is a case of an 82-year-old woman presenting with an asymptomatic and chronic pubic skin lesion for whom the work-up required many investigations and procedures to confirm the diagnosis of metastatic eccrine porocarcinoma. Indeed, the patient underwent a wide local excision of the skin lesion, imaging with an FDG-PET scan, a colonoscopy, and two inguinal node dissections. As illustrated in this case, surgery should always be considered to achieve disease remission. Other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have also been reported in the literature without clear standard guidelines.

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an infrequent cutaneous neoplasm, and was described in 1963 by Pinkus and Mehregan. It is a rare type of skin tumor (0.005–0.01% of all skin tumors). Less than 300 cases have been described in the entire world medical literature. To our knowledge, no case of intergluteal cleft EPC has been reported in the literature in English and Spanish to date, so this would be the first reported case of such pathology. Metastatic EPC is less frequent, since only <10% of metastatic type have been reported and the rest as localized disease. The primary treatment of choice is surgical wide local excision of the tumor with histological confirmation of tumor-free margins. Prognosis is difficult to determine because of the rarity of EPC and the variations in natural history. There are no data to support the use of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and there are currently no agreed criteria to define patients at high risk of relapse. We present a 67-year-old man with intergluteal cleft eccrine tumor by biopsy. Metastasis to left inguinal region and lung was reported by contrasted abdominal and chest computed tomography. He started chemotherapy based on etoposide, vincristine, carboplatin. A review of pertinent literature is provided.
