Abstract:
We report a case of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma in a 39-year-old male patient. It was a slightly erythematous hard nodule on left chin and composed of cribriform and tubular masses of basaloid cells. Lumina formed by neoplastic cells contained mucin and hyalin, and similar constituents were located between neoplastic cell masses and adjacent dermis. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells stained only focally with S-100 protein and negative with carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA). Therapy should employ wide surgical excision that extends well beyond the clinical confines of the neoplasm.
