Abstract
Malignant eccrine spiradenoma is an exceedingly rare tumor. A case of a 72-year-old women with this highly aggressive malignancy arising from a long-standing lower leg lesion is reported. Management during the course of disease included surgery, radiation therapy (RT), hyperthermic limb perfusion chemotherapy, and chemotherapy. The patient died of her disease, with widespread metastatic disease 20 months after the diagnosis. A review of the literature is presented, and treatment considerations are summarized.Keywords
