| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Apocrine adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare gland cancer that appears in the elderly, especially males. Surgery is considered the first option for the management of this tumor. Case Presentation: We report two cases of AA that occurred at our Unit of Maxillofacial Surgery. Precisely a case of a woman with AA with a usual presence at the eyelid level and a case of a man with AA with an unusual presence at the neck level. Discussion: This cancer generally arises in some specific areas of the body that present high concentrations of apocrine glands (such as in Case No.2). But it can also occur in less typical areas, such as the neck (such as in Case No.1). Conclusion: We discuss the surgical management of our cases: both based on our experience and literature data, we recommend extensive surgical excision.
