title: Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma in a 6-year-old African American child.
abstract: Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive adnexal tumor that frequently occurs on the face of middle-aged adults, invades deeply, and has a propensity to recur. We report a rare instance of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma occurring in a 6-year-old African American child and review the literature of this infrequently observed neoplasm.
