Malignant eccrine tumors are a group of extremely rare and aggressive dermatoses. In this case report, we present a 65-year-old woman who developed a unilateral multinodular swelling on the ankle of 4 months duration. The biopsy result was a histological surprise and revealed characters consistent with hidradenocarcinoma which is a rare rapidly metastasizing tumor of eccrine glands.
