Sweat gland carcinoma with regional lymph node metastasis.
Description of a 63-year-old man with a sweat gland carcinoma low in the left axilla, and an axillary lymph node metastasis. A five-year survival was obtained. The histological picture of a sweat gland carcinoma may be highly variable. The best treatment seems to be local excision. If the primary tumour is situated close to a regional lymph gland station, regional lymph node extirpation should be seriously considered.
