Abstract

A 57-year-old man presented with a tender, solitary, 0.3 cm-sized, subdermal nodule on the left periocular area for several months. He had surgery three times for recurrent primary mucinous eccrine adenocarcinoma on the right periocular area. Skin biopsy showed a tumor separated by strands of fibrous tissue and small compartments of tumor cells were surrounded by pale-staining mucin. The cluster of tumor cells contained atypical epithelial cells. The mucin stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and alcian blue at pH 2.5. Cytokeratin-7 (CK7) was positive for tumor cells, but cytokeratin-20 (CK20) and S-100 were negative. For evaluation of local metastasis, computed tomography was performed and there was no evidence of regional lymph node metastasis. The lesion was removed by local excision and the patient was under close follow up without any sign of recurrence. To our knowledge, double primary mucinous eccrine adenocarcinomas in the opposite body site has never been reported. (Korean J Dermatol 2020;58(8):551~553).
