Sumario: | Eccrine acrospiroma is a benign tumor of skin and adnexa arising from eccrine sweat gland epithelium. It is usually solitary, slow growing tumor commonly affecting extremities. Rarely it affects head and neck region, and extremely rare in parotid region. Females are affected more often. Treatment of choice is wide local excision with adequate skin margins. Although benign this tumor is very notorious for recurrence after inadequate resection. We describe here a case of young male patient with recurrent eccrine acrospiroma over parotid region which was managed by wide local excision with primary repair with excellent results. |
