Abstract

This chapter will discuss rare sweat gland tumors that occur in the skin primarily. We have limited our discussion to porocarcinoma, hidradenocarcinoma, malignant cylindroma, spiradenocarcinoma, cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma, and mucinous carcinoma of the skin.

Each tumor is presented with a brief summary of clinical presentation, natural history, histopathology, and treatment. Mohs micrographic surgery experience is also discussed.
