Cutaneous Eccrine Porocarcinoma: Diagnostic Challenge in Darker Skin Tones Individual
Received Date: Jan 23, 2024 / Published Date: Feb 23, 2024
Abstract
Cutaneous eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer that originates from the sweat glands. It can be particularly challenging to diagnose, especially in people with darker skin tones, as it may appear as a harmless lesion or imitate other skin conditions. A biopsy is essential for confirming the diagnosis, which involves examining the tissue sample under a microscope. Early detection is crucial to successful treatment, which may include surgical removal, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. This case study features a 45-year-old man who visited our dermatology clinic with a painless, non-itchy lesion on the sole of his right big toe that had been present for ten years. It is suspected that the lesion may have developed from Eccrine Poroma.
