BACKGROUND: Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma, or microcystic adnexal carcinoma, is a rare neoplasm of the skin with both pilar and eccrine differentiation. Previously this neoplasm has been reported only in adults. We describe a case of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma in an 11-year-old white male. OBJECTIVE: Description of Mohs surgical procedure for successful management of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma in a child. METHODS: Mohs micrographic surgery was performed on this rare neoplasm. RESULTS: The described procedure resulted in successful excision of this uncommon neoplasm. CONCLUSION: We present a case of sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma, an unusual cutaneous neoplasm, in an 11-year-old male that was successfully managed using Mohs micrographic surgery.
