Metastatic sweat gland carcinoma.
Sweat gland tumours are very rare. They lack distinctive clinical features and the histological appearences are often varied. Hence, diagnosis is difficult and usually late. We report a case of sweat gland adenocarcinoma with bony and lymphnode metastases, and possibly secondary involvement of 7th cranial nerve. This is probably the first case in Indian literature.
