Eccrine porocarcinoma: A rare case of an in situ tumor with lymph node metastases

Porocarcinoma of the Left Arm: A Report of a Rare Skin Cancer Case and Literature Review

“…To date, only 15 cases occurring on the arms (including the current case) have been documented in the literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Clinically, PC presents as a slow-growing, red, dome-shaped skin nodule with a shiny surface or as a wart-like plaque, papule, or polyp that is sometimes painful and ulcerative.…”

“…Mortality is high, reaching 80% in distant diseases and 65%-67% when lymph nodes are involved. Given its rare occurrence, most of the literature has reported single clinical cases and a few case series, and there are currently no uniform international guidelines for these patients [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Recent literature has reported that PC most commonly arises on the lower limbs (33%), head and neck (32%), trunk (14.7%), genitalia/buttocks (11.2%), and upper limbs (7.4%). The location on the arms represents only 4.8% of PC common sites (only 14 cases have been registered at the moment) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
