Abstract

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an uncommon malignant tumor derived from the eccrine sweat glands. Because of its various pathological features, it is often confused with other malignant cutaneous tumors. We present a case of 78-year- old female having ulcerative lesion over external nasal pyramid. Biopsy suggested of squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor was excised and reconstruction was done using paramedian forehead flap. Post operative Histopathological Examination (HPE) suggested of eccrine porocarcinoma.

Keywords: Eccrine porocarcinoma; Paramedian forehead flap.
