Abstract :
Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum (SCACP) is an extremely rare cutaneous neoplasm of the apocrine or eccrine sweatglands. Solid and cystic glandular structures with cribriform and tubular architecture along with CK5/6, pankeratin and p63immuno-profile set apart SCACP from other cutaneous malignancies. Wide local excision (WLE) has been the mainstaytreatment for localized SCACP; however, no standard treatment has yet been established for unresectable or metastatic disease.Herein, we report a 74-year-old male with SCACP, who initially presented with a painful nodule on the upper back and laterdeveloped metastatic disease. He was treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel with concurrent intensity-modulated radiationtherapy (IMRT), which resulted in disease stabilization for 12 months. Next generation sequencing (NGS) revealed a total of 18genomic alterations associated with potential benefit from targeted therapeutics. PD-L1 expression was identified in 70% oftumor cells. Thesefindings suggest that the opportunity of targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy exist as for metastaticSCACP. Reporting molecular profile of the rare tumors with no established standard treatment options should be encouraged
