Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cutaneous eccrine adenocarcinoma is a rare skin cancer. We reported a case of an 86-year-old woman with a nail-size papule on her back for 40 years, which became enlarged in the past 2 months. Physical examination revealed right axillary lymphadenopathy. FDG PET/CT scan showed intense FDG activity in the primary back lesion and bilateral axillary nodes. The histopathologic results after tumor resection and bilateral axillary lymph node dissection indicated cutaneous eccrine adenocarcinoma with metastases in axillary nodes.
