BACKGROUND: Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignancy of the eccrine sweat gland and usually has a long-standing growth on a lower extremity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review was to analyze clinical and histopathological findings of eccrine porocarcinoma. METHODS: We report nine cases of eccrine porocarcinoma that we have seen during last 10 years. RESULTS: Eccrine porocarcinoma affects elderly patients in both sexes and is usually found on the lower extremities, but in our review it is similar on the head. The mean size was 1.9 cm in our cases. Elective primary treatment was excision and we did not perform elective lymph node dissection. We have not found evidence of metastases in any of our cases.

Exposition of one case of skin metastasis in a 35 year-old patient, diagnosed 10 years previously with epithelioid sarcoma of the penis, which was treated with total penectomy. The singularity of this case lies in the rarity of a pineal site for this tumour, as well as the infrequency of the skin metastasis. It should be noted the significance of long-term follow-up in this patients, since quite frequently they develop metastasis following a long asymptomatic period.
