Abstract
- Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) and primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) are rare low-grade neoplasms thought to arise from apocrine glands that share many histological features and are proposed to be on a single histopathologic continuum, with EMPSGC as the in situ form that may progress to the invasive PCMC. Management involves a metastatic workup and either wide local excision (WLE) with greater than 5 mm margins or Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in anatomically sensitive areas. We present 2 cases of EMPSGC and 3 cases of PCMC and review their clinical and histopathologic features, differential diagnoses, and treatment.
