BACKGROUND: Hidroacanthoma simplex (HAS) is an uncommon eccrine neoplasm of the skin. It is a benign neoplasm, but some cases of malignant change were reported in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To describe a rare case of porocarcinoma in a relatively short period from pre-existing HAS on the abdomen. METHODS: Wide local excision was performed on this neoplasm. RESULTS: There was no recurrence for 72 months after wide excision. CONCLUSION. : We recommend an early excision and careful attention in the case of HAS because of its potential malignant change.
