A Case of Apocrine Gland Carcinoma on Axilla / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

A 84-year-old man presented a nodular lesion on his left axillary area for 7 years. Excisional biopsy revealed characteristic findings of apocrine carcinoma showing from relatively differentiated immature apocrine glands to cord-like infiltrations of anaplastic cells without luminal formation. Apocrine carcinoma is rarely reported in the world. Only cases have been reported in Korean literature up until the present time.
