Abstract

Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that originates from apocrine sweat glands. Apocrine sweat gland tumor is infrequent: the first case was published by Horn in 1944 and less than 50 cases are described in literature worldwide. For this reason, there are no clear guidelines for the management and treatment of this uncommon cancer. We report a clinical case of primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma in a 86 year-old female patient.
