ABSTRACT
Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin is a rare adnexal neoplasm with sweat gland differentiation. Mucinous carcinoma can occur in noncutaneous visceral sites and may metastasize in the skin. Thus it is important to exclude the possibility of a noncutaneous visceral primary tumor before diagnosing primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin. This tumor has a tendency for slow growth, local recurrence, and infrequent metastasis. To decrease local recurrence, Mohs micrographic surgery can be used to treat primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin. We describe a case of primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin which was resected by Mohs micrographic surgery.
