Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare type of skin neoplasm. It represents less than 0.01% of all epithelial cutaneous tumours. Early diagnosis is the only way to minimize the mortality rate, given its aggressive nature and the high rate of local recurrence and metastasis. Clinical diagnosis is challenging and the confirmation is histological. Few studies have been published about the radiological features of eccrine porocarcinoma. We report a case of a localized eccrine porocarcinoma along with ultrasound, MRI features, and a review of the literature to highlight the role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Parietal endometriosis is a rare clinical entity; it most often occurs after gynecologic or obstetric surgery. The typical clinical presentation is that of a parietal mass associated with pain punctuated by menstruation. Parietal ultrasonography finds a hypoechoic, heterogeneous formation with internal echoes. Doppler and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of parietal ́endometriosis. The diagnosis is confirmed by histology. Treatment is essentially surgical and based on the complete excision of the lesion. Through our case, we will emphasize the imaging aspects of this pathology, which will allow the practitioner to make the diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
