Malign ekrin poroma ve venöz yetmezlik beraberligi literatürde simdiye kadar bildirilmemistir. Olgumuzda, sol bacak orta-arka kısmında variköz zeminde yerlesmis ekrin poroma kitlesi mevcuttu. Tanı histopatolojik degerlendirme ile konuldu. Lenf nodu ya da uzak organ metastazı saptanmadı.

Bu birlikteligin tesadüfî olması veya venöz yetmezlik zemininde ekrin poroma gelismis olması olasılıgı aydınlatılamamıstır. Ancak bu makale ile bu çok nadir birliktelik tartısılmıstır.Eccrine poroma is a malignant tumour of eccrine sweat glands.
