Abstract

Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignancy of eccrine sweat glands. Standart treatment remains unclear. We presented metastatic eccrine porocarcinoma in advanced age that has a long history of a preexisting skin lesion. We have shown that asymptomatic patients in advanced age can be followed-up without treatment even in metastatic disease.
