Abstract
- A 66-year-old woman presented with a 1.5 by 1.2 cm sized, crusted erythematous nodule on the lateral aspect of her left calf. She had a small nodule on the left calf that had been removed by electrocauterization before her visit, but which had recurred. There was no previous history of trauma to the area. Histopathologic diagnosis was consistent with eccrine poroma. The tumor was excised, and no recurrence was noted when she examined 8 months later. We report a case of eccrine poroma arising on the left calf where is unusual location.
