摘要

Skin adnexa comprises hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands. The sweat glands are further classified into Eccrine and Apocrine glands. Sweat gland tumors are rare and among these eccrine carcinomas are commonest [1]. Wick et al. reported only 14 cases in a span of around 70?years [2]. Mehregan and associates reported 35 cases of eccrine carcinomas and only two had regional and distal metastatic features [3]. Hence Tumors of skin adnexa are of numerous types such as Hair follicle tumors, External root sheath tumors, Hair matrix tumors, Sebaceous gland tumors, Apocrine gland tumors, Eccrine gland tumour, etc. our discussion is confined to our case- Malignant hidradenoma which is a malignant Eccrine gland tumor.
