Case Rep Oncol. 2016 Aug 17;9(2):454-456. doi: 10.1159/000448073. eCollection 2016 May-Aug.

Abstract

The successful treatment of the rare malignancy eccrine porocarcinoma (EP) is extremely challenging, often not rewarding and when associated with metastatic disease, therapy results are disappointing. We present a unique case of treatment response of metastatic EP, with a significant disease-free interval. The patient has remained in clinical and radiological remission for 36 months since diagnosis of metastatic disease.

Keywords: Eccrine porocarcinoma; Malignant eccrine poroma.
