Eccrine Porocarcinoma (EP) is a rare malignancy of eccrine sweat gland. It mostly affects old people. Clinical diagnosis is difficult and lesions are often mistakenly identified as squamous cell carcinoma. The majority of EPs occur on the soles of the lower extremities, but can also be found on palms, trunk, upper extremities. In the Literature twenty-nine cases have been reported in the head and neck region and only four cases involve the nose. The majority of EPs were associated with locally aggressive disease and a poor outcome with a variable rate of distant metastasis. Early diagnosis with immunohistochemistry and wide surgical excision are basic. There are no data to support the use of adjuvant therapy. A case of EP of the nasal pyramid in a cardiac transplant recipient metastasizing to femural bone is presented to emphasize the problems in the differential diagnosis, the treatment's modalities and the poor prognosis.
