Eccrine porocarcinoma arising from the knee
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enlarged eccrine porocarcinoma of the knee was encountered as a hemorrhagic bulky tumor. After controlling bleeding with Mohs' paste, local excision of the lesion was the mainstay of treatment. Pathological examination revealed poroid cells, cuticle cells, and prickle cells cancer components, suggesting that malignancy must be excluded by resection.

متن کاملEccrine porocarcinoma with Bowenoid changes: epithelial membrane antigen is not a useful marker for malignant tumours arising from eccrine gland structures.
A case of eccrine porocarcinoma with Bowenoid changes is reported. We compared the results of immunohistochemical staining for epithelial membrane antigen in the present case with results in Bowen's disease to determine whether the presence of epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) enabled us to differentiate between Bowen's disease and eccrine porocarcinoma with Bowenoid changes. Histologically, th...
متن کاملA case of clear cell eccrine porocarcinoma.
