  Fig. 2 Histopathological findings of the primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin. (A) Numerous small tumor cell islands in pools of mucinous materials in the dermis (H&E, ×100). (B) Alcian blue staining of mucin was positive at pH 2.5 (×100). (C) Immunohistochemistry stains. Tumor cells were stained with cytokeratin 7 (×100). (D) Gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 staining (×200).
