Abstract
-
Primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma(MEC) of the skin is a rare adnexal tumor, presumably of eccrine origin, which most commonly occurs in the head and neck regions. These tumors, although rarely metastatic, have a high incidence of local recurrence. We examined the case of a patient with primary MEC of the left lower lateral eyelid. The tumor was treated by Mohs surgery, fresh-tissue technique. There was no recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.
