ABSTRACT
Mucinous eccrine carcinoma of the skin is a rare skin adnexal malignant tumor that origins from mucin-secreting dark cells, and it arises from the deepest portion of eccrine ducts. It usually affects people in their fifth to seventh decades of life and it predominantly occurs in men. It appears to exhibit a predilection for the head and neck. The histopathologic characteristics are a large mucinous pool with fibrous septae and clusters of tumor cells. The treatment of choice is surgical removal. We present here the case of a patient with a mucinoous eccrine carcinoma on the infraorbital area of the right side of his face and we review the related literature
