Abstract |
PURPOSE Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma(PCACC) is a very rare malignant tumor originating from the eccrine glands of skin and 39 cases have been reported in the world literature. We report PCACC on the lower lid with metastasis to the lung and brain. METHOD: 56 years old man visited because of hard mass on left lower lid which developed 18 months ago. On punch biopsy the mass showed malignant nature and it was removed by wedge resection method with clear margin. RESULT: Adenoid cystic carcinoma was diagnosed by histologic exam of removed mass and it was diagnosed PCACC because salivary gland region is normal and systemic exam shows no abnormality. After 2 years 10 months recurrent tumor developed on medial lower lid and zygomatic area. We tried to remove mass totally but it failed. Metastases to lung and brain developed. |
