Carcino-sarcoma in a case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum: a rare entity.
Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum is a rare form of adenocarcinoma of the skin. It is the malignant counterpart of syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP). It usually develops on the scalp in a long-standing lesion identified clinically as SCAP. Twelve cases of syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum have been reported in literature, with limited information regarding its clinical and histological characteristics. Sarcomatous change in a case of SCAP has not been reported in literature till date to the best of our knowledge. We present the first case of syringocystadenocarcino-sarcoma papilliferum in a middle-aged female with a satellite lesion over the scalp.
