Abstract:
Apocrine sweat gland carcinoma is a very unusual malignant skin adnexal tumor and mostly occurs in areas where apocrine elands are abundant namely. axilla. upper arm. scalp. eyelid. vulva and external auditory meatus. The scrotal location is not yet reported. We report a case of apocrine sweat gland carcinoma of scrotum in a man aged 85, which was managed by local excision. The histologic finding is that of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Evidence of decapitation secretion typical or apocrine glands. is present in some areas.
