AI Article Synopsis
- Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive tumor that originates from the sweat glands, specifically affecting the ducts.
- The study discusses a specific case where fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was used to diagnose this tumor on the scalp, which was later confirmed through histological analysis.
- Although diagnosing eccrine porocarcinoma via FNAC is challenging, it plays a vital role in identifying the malignancy, which is essential for successful surgical treatment.
Article Abstract
Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare, malignant adnexal tumor of the duct of eccrine sweat gland. Cytology of eccrine porocarcinoma has been described in very few previous literature. Here, we present a case of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of eccrine porocarcinoma of the scalp, which is subsequently confirmed by histology. Accurate diagnosis of eccrine porocarcinoma by FNAC is very difficult, but determining the malignant nature of the lesion is crucial for curative surgery. FNAC can be a convenient, safe, and effective approach to solve difficult diagnostic dilemma.
