Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin arising from the upper eyelid: A case report and literature review

Primary Mucinous Carcinoma of Skin: A Rare Cutaneous Neoplasm. Clinicopathologic Features, Differential Diagnoses, and Review of Literature

“…55 After resection with a 1.5-2-cm border of the normal skin, there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis in the case reported by Abe et al 56 Excisions with generous margins have been recommended. 2,10,45,57,58 Perioperative adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitors may be considered in cases with surgical margins ,10 mm and local recurrence or distant metastasis. 57,58 However, because these tumors are resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, 41,59,60 Mohs micrographic surgery has become the standard approach for PMCS.…”

“…2,10,45,57,58 Perioperative adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitors may be considered in cases with surgical margins ,10 mm and local recurrence or distant metastasis. 57,58 However, because these tumors are resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, 41,59,60 Mohs micrographic surgery has become the standard approach for PMCS. 25,61 A recent study, which included 14 patients, reported that PMCS of the eyelid treated with either Mohs micrographic surgery or frozen section control had a recurrence rate of 7%, with a mean disease-free follow-up of 36.5 months.…”

Carcinoma mucinoso cutáneo primario

“…El diagnóstico clínico diferencial del CMPC puede ser complejo clínicamente; por su presentación inusual y variada, puede incluir lesiones benignas como quistes sebáceos, hemangiomas, lipomas, melanomas, chalazión, neurofibromas o pilomatrixomas; y lesiones malignas, siendo las más importantes metástasis por adenocarcinomas de mama, pulmón y tracto digestivo bajo; además, se han descrito otros órganos de los que también pueden derivarse, pero en menor grado, como lo son las glándulas salivales o lagrimales, ovarios, páncreas y próstata (8)(9)(10).…”

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma of the scalp masquerading as a benign dermatological mass – A case report

“…Some limitation in the availability of the clinical data of PCMCs may be attributed to the cases which might have been ablated by laser treatment without histological examination. Wide local surgical excision with safety margins and regional lymph node dissection, if involved, remains the standard mode of therapy [ 9 ]. PCMCs deserve attention not only for their rarity but also due to the diagnostic challenges and their clinical synergies with several benign and malignant cutaneous lesions.…”
