Article: Apocrine Carcinoma Developing in a Naevus Sebaceous of Scalp
ABSTRACT
Apocrine skin carcinoma is an aggressive cutaneous tumour. We report a case
of apocrine carcinoma developing in a naevus sebaceous of scalp in a 45 years
old male. Malignant transformation of Naevus sebaceous is a rare complication
usually found in elderly patients. Most of these tumours are basal cell carcinoma
or squamous cell carcinoma. Only few cases of apocrine carcinoma on naevus
sebaceous have been previously reported. This report highlights the potential of
naevus sebaceous for malignant transformation.
