Abstract
A variety of tumors develop or exacerbate during pregnancy and it is well known that a noticeable increase of eccrine activity occurs in this period. Eccrine poroma is a benign neoplasm that originates from the eccrine sweat gland. The development of this tumor during pregnancy is extremely infrequent. We report a rare case of rapidly growing eccrine poroma in an unusual location (the nose) in a pregnant woman.
