Abstract
Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive carcinoma arising from sweat glands that manifests as an asymptomatic, slow-growing skin tumor. It metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and distant viscera. We report a case of 77 years old man who presented with an invasive hidradenocarcinoma of the scalp without lymph node involvement, treated by wide local excision and Post-operative radiotherapy. The management of this rare entity is not yet well defined. The results are still poor despite the use of multiple treatment modalities.
