Treatment of eccrine porocarcinoma with metastasis to the parotid gland using intensity-modulated radiation therapy: a case report

INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous eccrine porocarcinomas are uncommon malignant tumors of the sweat gland. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old Caucasian man presented to our hospital with a left temporal mass. We describe a case of eccrine porocarcinoma with metastasis to the parotid gland with special emphasis...

description INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous eccrine porocarcinomas are uncommon malignant tumors of the sweat gland. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old Caucasian man presented to our hospital with a left temporal mass. We describe a case of eccrine porocarcinoma with metastasis to the parotid gland with special emphasis on the role of surgical resection and adjuvant radiation therapy. CONCLUSION: Besides surgical resection, little is known about the role of adjuvant therapy in managing eccrine porocarcinomas. Radiation therapy should be considered within a multidisciplinary approach in patients with primary or recurrent eccrine porocarcinomas.
