متن کاملEccrine porocarcinoma mimicking a venous leg ulcer.
Dear Editors, Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare, malignant skin tumour arising from the ductal portion of eccrine sweat glands and was first described by Pinkus and Mehregan in 1963 (1). With a 20% rate of local recurrence and the potential to metastasize in regional lymph nodes in another 20% of cases (2), EPC often takes an aggressive clinical course (3). Organ spreading is only found occ...
