Article Synopsis
- - Cutaneous apocrine carcinoma (CAC) is a rare skin cancer originating in apocrine sweat glands, with no established evidence-based treatments available.
- - A 61-year-old female diagnosed with axillary CAC and lymph node metastasis had surgery, revealing multiple metastases, and her tumor tested positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors, as well as HER2.
- - The patient received chemotherapy, including anti-HER2 drugs, and hormone therapy, resulting in no recurrence for over three years, suggesting that breast cancer treatments could be effective for CAC due to similarities between apocrine glands and mammary glands.
