Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare sweat gland cancer, [1] which often appears as a yellow spot or bump in the skin. It usually occurs in the neck or head, although cases have been documented in other areas of the body. Most diagnosis occur past the age of 50.

Eccrine carcinoma is a rare skin condition characterized by a plaque or nodule on the scalp, trunk, or extremities. [1]: 669 It originates from the eccrine sweat glands of the skin, accounting for less than 0.01% of diagnosed cutaneous malignancies. [2] Eccrine carcinoma tumors are locally aggressive, with a high rate of recurrence.
Less common skin cancers include: Merkel cell carcinoma, Paget's disease of the breast, atypical fibroxanthoma, porocarcinoma, spindle cell tumors, sebaceous carcinomas, microcystic adnexal carcinoma, keratoacanthoma, and skin sarcomas, such as angiosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Kaposi's sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma.
The diagnosis is made based on clinical and morphological features. Differential diagnosis includes trichoepithelioma, microcystic adnexal carcinoma, morpheaform basal cell carcinoma, and syringoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is more common in females and usually affects children or adults.

Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous or sudoriparous glands, from Latin sudor 'sweat', [6] [7] are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat.Sweat glands are a type of exocrine gland, which are glands that produce and secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way of a duct.
