Abstract

BACKGROUND. Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum, a rare sweat gland carcinoma, is the malignant counterpart of syringocystadenoma papilliferum. OBJECTIVE. To demonstrate a rare case of syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. METHODS. A 60-year-old male presented with two verrucous plaques on his right auricle since childhood. These two plaques became ulcerated, more painful, and pruritic in 1 year. Histopathologic examination revealed syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum. RESULTS. Mohs micrographic surgery with reconstruction of right auricle was performed subsequently. There are no signs of recurrence or metastasis 6 years after operation. CONCLUSION. Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum can be successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery.
