Abstract
Eccrine porocarcinoma is a malignant tumor of eccrine sweat glands. It is a very rare, slow growing tumor and clinically resembles other ski n cancers. We report a case and review its clinical and pathological f eatures. These tumors have a propensity for local recurrence, and wide excision with negative margins is recommended.
