Abstract

Malignant eccrine spiradenoma is very rare neoplasm of cutaneous adnexal origin, arising from previously benign eccrine spiradenoma. We present an additional case of malignant eccrine spiradenoma in abdomen of 56-year-old female patient. The mass was stable for 25 years and recently increased in size and became strikingly painful and tender. The excised mass showed typical findings of eccrine spiradenoma 8 its malignancy. There was no evidence of local invasion & distant metastasis. We resected the tumor mass with 3 cm safty margin and have followed up the patient.
