RESUMO
O porocarcinoma écrino é uma neoplasia maligna, rara, das glândulas sudoríparas écrinas e, com maior frequência, acomete os indivíduos idosos, com idade média de 67,5 anos. Apresenta manifestações clínicas variadas e sua localização não se correlaciona com a concentração das glândulas sudoríparas, ocorrendo, principalmente, nos pés e pernas. O seu diagnóstico e tratamento devem ser precoces para evitar a agressividade do tumor, que ocorre em 20 por cento dos casos. Os autores relatam o caso de um porocarcinoma extenso no tórax, em paciente do sexo masculino, de 71 anos.

The authors present a case of extensive porocarcinoma on the thorax of a 71-year-old male patient.
