ECCRINE DUCTAL CARCINOMA
Matos, Diogo; Goulão, João; Barreiros, Hugo; Bártolo, Elvira; Oliveira, Ana; Sanches, FredericoDuctal eccrine carcinoma is a rare and aggressive skin cancer. Its diagnosis implies the exclusion of a primary adenocarcinoma located elsewhere with cutaneous metastization, as the histological and immunohistochemical analysis are not sufficient by themselves. We report the clinical case of a 75-year-old male with a 3 cm width tumor located on the right hemiface, which was excised and whose histology and immun...

SUBUNGAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
Barreiros, HugoSubungual squamous cell carcinoma is rare. Its atypical presentation can mimic several diseases and therefore the diagnosis can be easily missed or delayed.

We report a case of a 58-year-old man that was referred to our Department with a subungual tu...

Histologically it can be confused with a metastatic lesion from the more common colloid carcinoma of the breast and muci...
