Metaplastic spiradenocarcinoma: Report of two cases with sarcomatous differentiation.

Spiradenocarcinoma (SC) is a very rare malignant skin adnexal tumor with sweat gland differentiation that develops from a pre-existing spiradenoma, cylindroma, or hybrid tumor called spiradenocylindroma, or arises de novo. We present two exceptionally rare SC cases showing sarcomatous differentiation; we also discuss the clinicopathologic features of SC, as well as its differential diagnoses and available therapeutic modalities. Given the aggressive behavior of SC, rapid diagnosis and complete removal of the tumor with tumor-free margins is mandatory.
