Basal cell carcinoma with eccrine differentiation is an invasive, slow-growing tumor that usually occurs on the scalp. The histopathologic findings include basaloid epithelial elements, cystic spaces, and a fibrous or myxomatous stroma. The patient described in this report demonstrated epithelial elements with marked similarity to eccrine ducts. Mohs micrographic surgery, by virtue of the large number of frozen sections that are examined, provides an ideal way to study the characteristics of this unusual tumor.
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.
