Apocrine Gland Carcinoma

ABSTRACT

Carcinomas of apocrine glands are rare and their diagnostic features are poorly defined. Only about 35 cases were reported in the literatures from 1911 to 19871. Their occurrence has been reported mainly in the axilla and breast area. We present a case of apocrine carcinoma arising from the left axilla. The literature is reviewed with respect to clinical and histopathologic findings.
