Abstract
- Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma is a rare epithelial neoplasm that arises from the deepest portion of the eccrine duct. It most commonly occurs on the scalp and face with a preference for on the eyelids. The histopathologic characteristics are large mucinous pools with fibrous septae and clusters of tumor cells. We report here on a case of mucinous carcinoma that developed on the abdomen of a 47-year-old woman.
