A case of a 64-year-old man with eccrine carcinoma arising from hand skin is reported. At the time of diagnosis he showed bilateral pneumonic metastases. Although the patient underwent two systemic chemotherapy lines, he showed further progressive disease of the lung. For this reason a third chemotherapy line was started through thoracic stop-flow infusion. In this way, a five month stable disease had been achieved. The patient died 7 months later for progressive disease. The rarity of this disease, the uncertain treatment, the feasibility and efficacy of thoracic stop-flow infusion are underlined and further studies are suggested.
