Abstract:
Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma is a rare epithelial neoplasm occurring mostly in middle aged people. It arises on the head, favoring the scalp and face with preference on the eyelids, and generally follows indolent course with frequent local recurrence. We report a rare case of mucinous carcinoma which developed on the chest of a 60-year-old man. He was treated with total excision and full-thickness skin graft. This is the first such case to be reported in Korean dermatologic literature.
