Eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of eccrine sweat glands. It may arise de novo, but it usually develops in pre-existing eccrine poroma. Here we report a case of eccrine porocarcinoma in the grafted area on the scalp of a male patient who had recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the scalp, with clinical, histopathological and, immunohistochemical features.
