Prognostic factors in cutaneous apocrine carcinoma: a single-institution retrospective study of 32 patients

Cutaneous apocrine carcinoma (CAC) is a rare adnexal carcinoma. Limited data exists on the demographics and overall survival (OS) of patients with CAC; thus, there is no consensus on surgical management.
