Abstract

An 82-year-old woman noticed a mass in the left axilla 2 years ago. Upon medical examination, an elastic, soft, red tumor measuring 15 mm was detected. Histopathological examination indicated adenocarcinoma containing glandular structures with decapitation secretion in the dermis and subdermis. The cells had eosinophilic cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli. Immunohistochemical examination showed that the tumor cells were positive for PAS, GCDFP-15, and HER2(1+) and negative for mammaglobin and ER/PgR. The Ki67 index was 40%. No evidence of other malignant tumors or metastases were observed. The patient was diagnosed with a primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma of the left axilla. No recurrence or metastasis of the tumor has been noted thus far.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2015 ; 30 : 189-192]
