MMS: Mohs micrographic surgery SSDC: sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma INTRODUCTION Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma (SSDC) is a rare slow-growing malignant tumor of the sweat glands that usually occurs in the head and neck region. SSDC isoftenmisdiagnosedclinically,which can result in tumor mismanagement and recurrence. Recent literature has shifted in favor of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) as the optimal approach for this type of tumor because of its tissue-sparing effects and high cure rates. We present an unusual case of SSDC of the lower extremity that was successfully treated with MMS.
