Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Porocarcinoma

NCT03647631 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a slow-growing carcinoma arising from the eccrine sweat glands. Based on its clinical presentation it can be confused with malignant and benign skin lesions, both. Histological examination is essential to formulate a correct diagnosis. Surgical excision with clear margins is the standard therapeutic approach while the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNLB) remains controversial.

The Authors report two cases of EPC of the lower limbs occurred in two women. Patients were treated by wide surgical excision of the lesion and SNLB.
