title: Metastatic sweat gland carcinoma.
abstract: 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.
