Surgical Management of Primary Cutaneous Mucinous Carcinoma

چکیده
Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare non-melanoma skin cancer that most commonly presents in the face. This malignancy is difficult to differentiate from metastatic mucinous carcinoma with a visceral source. Thus, PCMC is a diagnosis of exclusion, after internal malignancy has been ruled out. Given its rarity, there is currently a paucity of sound evidence behind its diagnosis and management. We present the case of a 74-year-old male with recurrent mucinous carcinoma of the right lateral orbital rim and our approach to management.
