Abstract

Cutaneous mucinous eccrine carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that is presumably of an eccrine gland origin. We observed a 53-year-old man with an erythematous nodule on his left infraorbital area. A large mucinous pool and characteristic tumor cells were shown on H&E stain, and further specific immunohistochemical stains confirmed the diagnosis. We report here on a case of mucinous eccrine carcinoma and we review the relevant literature.
