Abstract
weat gland adenocarcinoma is a relatively uncommon malignancy.
Clinical features are painless red or violet papules and nodules
that can occasionally become ulcerated. The biological behavior
is aggressive and metastatic sweat gland carcinoma spreads
through the lymphatic. The treatment of choice is wide surgical
excision with regional lymph node dissection. The portrayed
case was a 60-year-old female who presented with an ulcerative
plaque on the scalp. Skin biopsy, radiologic examination, and
immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay revealed adenocarcinoma
of the sweat gland. Reconstructive surgery was performed
immediately after Mohs surgery to repair the damaged site.
