J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad. 2004 Apr-Jun;16(2):82-3.

Abstract

The term eccrine porocarcinoma was introduced by Mishima and Morioka in 1969 for the malignant counterpart of eccrine poroma. We report an uncommon and a rare case of an invasive adnexal carcinoma like porocarcinoma coexisting with Bowen's disease with extremely rapid progression, metastatic spread to the lungs, leading to death in weeks.
