Article Abstract
Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy of sweat gland differentiation. It is known for its high rate of recurrence and metastasis, which has a serious impact on human health and aesthetics. However, the treatment options for this disease are limited, making prompt and appropriate treatment is a daunting challenge. In this report, we present the first successful cure of hidradenocarcinoma using 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) combined with local narrow margin excision on the left side of the forehead in an elderly woman. No recurrence during one year of follow-up after the combined therapy. This case will provide a valuable reference for more efficient management of similar cases in clinic.
