Abstract
- Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare, slow-growing malignancy that consists of basaloid cells. It characteristically follows an indolent course but has a high tendency to recur locally after excision. We experienced a recurrent primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the abdomen in a 69-year-old female. It had recurred locally three times over 13 years despite repeated excisions. Wide spreading and perineural invasion of tumor cells were identified during Mohs micrographic surgery, and it seemed to be related to the repeated recurrences. Herein, we report this rare case with clinical and histological features of a recurrent nature.
