Apocrine Carcinoma of the Groin Possibly Associated with Extramammary Paget's Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apocrine carcinoma is a rare malignancy with invasive potential. It presents as painless, slow-growing, firm or cystic, red nodules with focal ulcerations. The tumor is capable of hematogenous dissemination to the liver, lungs, and bone as well as lymphatic spread. In addition, apocrine carcinomas cause intra-epidemial pagetoid spread. We report a case of an apocrine carcinoma related with extensive extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). The relationship between apocrine carcinoma and EMPD remains to be understood. Co-existing cases with apocrine carcinoma and EMPD are discussed to better understand the relationship between these two malignant apocrine tumors.

Paget himself had noted the possibility of an extramammary location, and his casually created dichotomy of malnmary and extramammary has persisted to the present time, even though, before long, the histologic identity o...
