Pediatr Dermatol. 2008 Jan-Feb;25(1):38-42. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2007.00579.x.

Abstract

Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive adnexal tumor that frequently occurs on the face of middle-aged adults, invades deeply, and has a propensity to recur. We report a rare instance of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma occurring in a 6-year-old African American child and review the literature of this infrequently observed neoplasm.
