J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;19(6):389-90.

Eccrine Porocarcinoma (ECP) is a malignant tumour arising from the intraepithelial ductal parts of the sweat gland. It has also been described as malignant hidroacanthoma simplex, sweat gland carcinoma, malignant intra-epidermal eccrine poroma, eccrine poroepithelioma, dysplastic poroma, malignant syringo acanthoma and porocarcinoma. Treatment with wide local excision but metastatic lesions can be treated with chemotherapy. Here, we present a case report of 52 years old male who presented with a fungating growth on left pre-auricular region that came out to be a case of ECP on histopathological examination.
