Abstract
Malignant cutaneous adnexal tumors are rare. There is nowadays no treatment consensus. An initial staging by mean of a head and neck, chest, abdominal and pelvic CT-scan is mandatory. Treatment has to be decided in a multidisciplinary cancer committee. In the absence of metastasis, the reference treatment is surgical resection, possibly by Mohs micrographic technique, with large safety margins. In case of metastasis or if the loco-regional extension does not allow for a complete excision, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may be proposed. A close monitoring is essential.
