Abstract

Dermal duct tumor arising from the intradermal portion of the eccrine duct is a variant of benign eccrine sweat duct tumor. The tumor is a rare, usually occurs on the head and neck or limbs and presents as a non-characteristic, usually asymptomatic, flesh-colored or erythematous, firm nodule or papule. Histologically, the tumor lobules are located principally in the dermis with or without connection to the epidermis, showed similar architectural features and identical cytologic features of eccrine poroma. We report a case of dermal duct tumor which developed on the left calf area in a 57-year-old male patient
