“…A survey of all these lesions, which can adequately be recognized as solid apocrine carcinoma 1–4 shows the following characteristics (Table 1). The most common location is the face and scalp with a particular predilection for the nasolabial region.…”

“…So, a photomicrograph in the case report of Urso et al 10 shows a papillary apocrine carcinoma, and the other reports 9,11 describe a spectrum of lesions including porocarcinoma, syringomatous carcinoma, ductal carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma, but no solid apocrine type as described by Requena et al 2 Thus, our case is the first lesion observed in the axilla. Lesions frequently affect young adults, men more common than women, but lesions in elderly patients may occur 1–4 . Characteristically, these lesions grow slowly over years to decades with induration of most or all the reticular dermis and not uncommonly, the fat and skeletal muscle.…”

“…The present article describes a case of solid apocrine carcinoma of the skin, 1,2 which is characterized by small nests to lobules and sheets of well differentiated epithelium with rare tubules, which most closely simulate the solid part of microcystic adnexal carcinoma 2 . To the best of our knowledge only 14 cases have been reported which fit into this category 1–4 …”

“…2 To the best of our knowledge only 14 cases have been reported which fit into this category. [1][2][3][4] Case report A 71-year-old man presented to his dermatologist with an indurated dermal to subcutaneous plaque in the right axilla, which he had noticed for 2 years. No definitive diagnosis was given by the clinician but morphea (Ôlocalized scleroderma') was suggested.…”

The so called 'sweat gland carcinoma' is a rare skin malignancy. The differentiation between apocrine and eccrine neoplasms remains difficult. Skin tumors of the axilla are often suspected to be metastasis of other neoplasms in particular breast cancer. A 71-year-old man presented with a morphea-like plaque of the right axilla which in punch biopsy was first suspected as metastasis of primary lobular breast carcinoma. After further clinical and laboratory work up including immunohistochemistry the original diagnosis of a breast cancer had to be changed to solid apocrine carcinoma of the skin. Wide excision with en-bloc axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Final tumor stage was pT2 N0 M0 (V0 L0). No adjuvant treatment was necessary, and there is no evidence of disease after 3 years. Solid apocrine carcinoma of the skin is a rare variant with apocrine differentiation. A survey of the stereotypical presentation of this lesion and a comparison with lobular breast carcinoma and other types of apocrine carcinoma of the skin is given.
