Abstract: In 19 patients with sweat gland carcinoma treated during the past fifteen years are reported.They constitute 6. 9% of malignant lesions of the skin during the same period. Of these 19 patients, 7were apocrine gland carcinoma, 12 eccrine carcinoma. It is believed that the enlarged local resection should be given to patients without metastasis. Vascular disseminations were mainly to the bone, lung and skin in order of incidence. Prognosis was mainly related to the presence of distant metastasis.
