Summary Very little is known about the aetiology of eccrine porocarcinoma (EP), a rare malignant sweat‐gland tumour. Most reported cases have arisen de novo , or from a benign eccrine poroma. We report an unusual case, in which eccrine porocarcinoma arose at the exact site of pre‐existing Bowen disease (BD).
