“…Sentinel lymph node biopsy will detect subclinical metastases [8], and some authors recommend lymphadenectomy [4]. Like most authors we think that lymphadenectomy should be reserved for obvious lymph metastases, and patients with recurrent tumours [2,7,9]. Neither complete primary excision with a margin free of malignant cells, nor absence of invaded lymph nodes, give a favourable prognosis [9].…”

“…[9] In one case there was described the use of wide local excision with adjuvant radiotherapy for malignant eccrine acrospiroma of the scalp and left parotid, which eventually had local recurrence in the parotid region after 2 years. [3] In another case there was described a more radical surgical approach of amputation of the leg with regional lymph node dissection.…”

Acrospiromas are cutaneous tumors of sweat duct differentiation. Although various eccrine sweat gland tumours including benign acrospiroma are widely reviewed, malignant acrospiroma is rarely reported. Clinically, they resemble other cutaneous lesions and the primary treatment is wide local excision with or without lymph node dissection. The efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy requires further investigation.

Acrospiroma denotes a group of benign ductal tumours of the eccrine sweat glands that may or may not be connected to the skin. Although various eccrine sweat gland tumours including benign acrospiroma are widely reviewed, malignant acrospiroma is rarely reported. Malignant acrospiroma have the propensity to recur locally and metastasizes to regional lymph nodes. The primary treatment is wide local excision with or without lymph node dissection. Local radiation is added in the presence of high risk features to reduce the risk of recurrence. We describe a case of a malignant acrospiroma involving wide areas of chest and abdominal wall with metastases to bilateral axillary lymph nodes in a 47 year old man showing minimal clinical response to combination chemotherapy and paclitaxel.
