Malignant Metastatic Eccrine Poroma

Abstract: A new chemotherapy protocol consisting of isotretinoin and interferon alpha has confirmed the advantages of polychemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic malignant eccrine poroma. On the basis of the considerably long, although incomplete, remission with good drug tolerance in spite of the high doses used as well as the undoubtedly major antineoplastic strength of the latest generation of synthetic retinoids, we feel that these findings could be a good starting point for further experimental verifications of… Show more

“…The prognosis of this tumor is still questionable but recent reports have predicted more indolent behaviors [8]. Several metastatic tumors have been reported especially in primarily misdiagnosed cases [9][10][11]. In another report, half of the patients had inaccurate primary diagnosis [12].The most important differential diagnoses of EPC are inflamed poroma, Bowen ' s disease, Paget's disease, amelanotic melanoma, metastatic adenocarcinoma.…”

“…Die Ergebnisse lassen nicht auf eine ausreichende Sensibilität des Tumors auf übliche Chemotherapeutika, wie zum Beispiel Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamid, Methotrexat [15], schließen. Einzelfallbeschreibungen mit weniger konventionellen Schemata, zum Beispiel mit Isotretinoin und Interferon-Alpha [3], berichten auch nur über unwesentlich bessere Überlebensraten. Eine lokale Applikation von 5-Fluorouracil in Kombination mit intraarterieller Gabe von Docetaxel soll in einem Fall jedoch zu einer vollständigen Remission des Primärtumors und der Hautmetastasen geführt haben, systemische Metastasen sollen sich unter der folgenden systemischen Therapie teilweise zurückgebildet haben [4].…”

“…Zu einer Strahlentherapie gibt es ebenfalls keine gesicherten Empfehlungen. Eine lokale Nachbestrahlung des Operationsgebietes bei inkompletten Resektionen oder eine palliative Therapie mit Strahlendosen von zirka 70 Gy wird jedoch von einigen Autoren bei malignen Tumoren der Schweißdrüsen empfohlen [3,7,15,16].…”
