Abstract

Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign tumor of sweat gland origin. Malignant eccrine spiradenoma is a rare neoplasm which almost always arises from a pre-existing spiradenoma lesion. In this article, we present a patient with malignant eccrine spiradenoma of the auricula with a prior diagnosis as benign eccrine spiradenoma. Although malignant transformation is usually associated with aggressive behavior, we did not detect recurrence or metastasis in four years of follow-up after performing wide excision.

Abstract

Ekrin spiradenoma ter bezi kökenli benign bir tümördür. Malign ekrin spiradenoma neredeyse daima daha önceden var olan bir spiradenoma lezyonundan gelişen nadir bir neoplazmdır. Bu yazıda daha önce benign ekrin spiradenoma tanısı konulmuş, dış kulak malign ekrin spiradenoması olan bir hasta sunuldu. Malign dönüşüm genellikle saldırgan davranış ile ilişkilendirilse de geniş eksizyon sonrası dört yıllık takipte nüks ve metastaz tespit edilmedi
