A Case Apocrine Gland Carcinoma
|

|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Apocrine gland caricinoma is a very rare cutaneous malignancy. By 1987, only about 35 cases are found in the literature. This lesion occurs predominantly in axillae of elderly individuals. It is a mostly asymtomatic nodule or cystic mass.
We report herein a case of apocrine gland carcinoma in the right mammary area of 68-year-old male.
Histopathological findings were characterized by a glandular arrangement of large cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and evidence of decapitation secretion. The cytoplasm of the tumor cells contained PAS-positive, diastase-resistant
granules and
lysozyme.
The patients was treated withwide superficial excision including the enough marginal skin. After 20 onths, large mass was developed at the same site and right axillary lymph nodes were palpabled. Then we treated him by modified radicalastectomy
with
regional lymph node dissection. (Kor J Dermatol 1993; 31(1) : 134-138)
