Abstract

Sweat gland cancer is very rare with a reported incidence of less than 0.005% of all tumor specimens resected surgically. Diagnosis and management of these cancers are difficult, due to the limited reports in the literature. Here we present a case of an eccrine adenocarcinoma in the retroauricular area and report this case with a review of the literature.

Key Words: Eccrine adenocarcinoma, Sweat gland cancer, Epidermal cyst
