title: [Multiple recurrent eccrine porocarcinoma with inguinal metastasis. A case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Eccrine porocarcinoma, first described in 1963, is a rare malignant lesion arising from the eccrine sweat glands. It is usually a primary tumour, or even more common, a malignant degeneration of an eccrine poroma. It usually affects older persons and is located most commonly on the lower extremities. About 20% of eccrine porocarcinoma will recur after treatment. The treatment is wide local excision of the primary lesion. This uncommon skin tumour has a locally aggressive behaviour and a high recurrence rate.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 82 year-old man presenting with multiple recurrent eccrine porocarcinoma with inguinal metastasis. The treatment was a radical excision and inguinal lymphadenectomy. There were no postoperative complications, but there was local recurrence after six months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Early diagnosis and wide excision is the best way to achieve a good prognosis, due to the aggressiveness of this tumour.
