description Malignant eccrine spiradenoma is a rare cutaneous adnexal neoplasm and is often a result of the malignant transformation of a benign eccrine spiradenoma. A woman without a history of skin cancer presented with a mass on her posterior scalp. An excisional biopsy was obtained, and histology was consistent with eccrine spiradenocarcinoma with the lesion extending to all margins of the excision specimen. Physical exam and imaging did not reveal lymph node involvement or distant spread of disease. It was recommended that the patient undergo wide local excision.
