Eccrine porocarcinoma of the face involving eyelids: a rare case report.
Eccrine porocarcinomas (EP) are skin appendage tumors originating from the acrosyringium. Pagetoid form is rare and exceptionally it can involve eyelid. We report a 70-year-old patient presenting a lesion sited on the left cheek region involving the internal canthus, the dorsum of nose and the half inferior eyelid in full thickness. A wide surgical excision was performed and after 2 years of follow up no recurrences have been seen.
