Dermoscopy is an invaluable technique in diagnosing skin tumors. However, few cases of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EPC<\/jats:styled-content> have been reported using dermoscopic images, and their details were not well examined. Here, we present three histopathologically proven cases of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EPC<\/jats:styled-content> and summarize their dermoscopic findings together with five previously reported cases. None of the eight cases showed dermoscopic evidence indicative of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SK<\/jats:styled-content> (comedo\u2010like openings, milia\u2010like cysts, fissures and ridges, and hairpin vessels with white halo), <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCC<\/jats:styled-content> (blue\u2010gray ovoid nests, multiple blue\u2010gray globules, wheel\u2010like structures, shiny white areas, leaf\u2010like areas and arborizing vessels) or <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">PG<\/jats:styled-content> (reddish homogeneous area with collarette and white rail lines). A milky red area, which was suggestive of amelanotic melanoma, was not detectable in any cases. Seven cases exhibited a polymorphous vascular pattern mainly consisting of hairpin, linear\u2010irregular and dotted vessels. A combination of round\u2010to\u2010oval pink\u2010white structureless areas and white\u2010to\u2010pink halo was observed in five of eight cases, with one case showing the white\u2010to\u2010pink halo alone. Our investigation revealed that the dermoscopic characteristic of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EP<\/jats:styled-content> was also observed in discrete areas of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EPC<\/jats:styled-content> lesions. Thus, it is possible that the histopathological architecture of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EPC<\/jats:styled-content> contains portions of benign <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EP<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010like components. Awareness of this dermoscopic aspect of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EPC<\/jats:styled-content> may be helpful when diagnosing pink nodules.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.13082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,2]],"date-time":"2015-09-02T19:12:22Z","timestamp":1441221142000},"page":"332-335","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Eccrine porocarcinoma shares dermoscopic characteristics with eccrine poroma: A report of three cases and review of the published work"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Tomohiro","family":"Edamitsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Shinshu University School of Medicine Matsumoto Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akane","family":"Minagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Shinshu University School of Medicine Matsumoto Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Koga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Shinshu University School of Medicine Matsumoto Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hisashi","family":"Uhara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Shinshu University School of Medicine Matsumoto Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryuhei","family":"Okuyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Shinshu University School of Medicine Matsumoto Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1994.tb01532.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000081486"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/192371"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000354152"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2009.03182.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2010.41"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/00015555-0608"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2010.10017.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200106000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2004.05928.x"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2F1346-8138.13082","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1346-8138.13082","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,15]],"date-time":"2024-04-15T11:46:46Z","timestamp":1713181606000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1346-8138.13082"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,9]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/1346-8138.13082"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/1346-8138.13082","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0385-2407","1346-8138"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0385-2407","type":"print"},{"value":"1346-8138","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,9]]}}}
