Abstract

Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPAc) is a relatively rare neoplasm arising from the sweat glands with a predilection for the hand. A case of DPAc in the third finger at the level of the proximal phalanx in a 55-year-old male is presented. Our paper recommends specific consideration of DPAc in evaluating digital soft tissue masses, particularly those that present with an aggressive nature.
