ABSTRACT
Apocrine gland carcinoma is a rare form of sweat gland neoplasm with a distinctive cytologic appearance. Their occurrence has been reported mainly in the axilla and breast area. The authors describe a 51-year-old man with an apocrine gland carcinoma in the right axilla area. Physical exam revealed a 2.0 X 2.5 cm sized strawberry-like mass and histologic sections showed multiple cribriform pattern tumor nodules throughout the dermis. The periodic acid-Schiffs(PAS) diastase stain revealed positively staining granules in the cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells and stains for lysozyme and GCDFP-15(Gross Cystic Disease Fluid Protein-15) were also positive.
