- Abstract
The primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma is an extremely rare malignancy that affects most frequently the periorbital area and has its origin in the deep area of the eccrine sweat ducts. The primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma is difficult to distinguish from the cutaneous metastatic lesions. We present the case of a 60-yearold patient who is hospitalized in December 2015 for epigastric pain that began 1 month ago. The clinical and laboratory investigations showed the presence of an epigastric tumour with distal sternal region invasion, the anterior abdominal wall, peritoneum and mediastinum for which an incisional biopsy is made. Based on the clinical exam, the histopathology report and the systemic investigations, a mucinous adenocarcinoma is diagnosed, but the origin of the tumour is yet to be established. The investigations are continued and an imunohistochemistry exam is made, and the result is low grade (G1) mucinous adenocarcinoma with cutaneous primary location.
