Abstract

Primary mucinous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that arises from the deepest portion of the eccrine duct. This tumor consists of large mucinous pool with fibrous septae and clusters of tumor cells. Immunohistochemical staining was studied for the differentiation, but has only limited value. We present a case of mucinous eccrine carcinoma in 56-year-old man and review the literature.
