ABSTRACT
Stress fractures may be easily misdiagnosed as another entity, especially tumors, which may prompt very severe surgical treatment and sometimes amputation. The appropriate use of modern radiography may make the difference in proper diagnosis of stress fractures.

ABSTRACT
Malignant eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare tumor of sweat glands with a high local recurrence rate and a tendency to metastatic spread. We present a case of a 77-year-old male patient that presented with a recurrent, periungual porocarcinoma mimicking onychomycosis and ingrown toe nail that was successfully treated by surgical excision. To our knowledge no such case has been described in this location in the English literature.
