Abstract
Malignant eccrine spiradenoma (MES) is an extremely rare aggressive tumor, firstly reported in 1972 by Dabska that can occur de novo or more commonly arise on a preexisting often long-standing eccrine spiradenoma. The latency period before malignant transformation ranges from 6 months to 70 years. To date, about 102 cases have been reported, mostly as single case report.
