Abstract :
Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare
variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) which originates from
the skin adnexa, most probably eccrine and apocrine glands.
This tumor has a head and neck predilection and also occurs in
the chest, abdomen, back, and perineum. We hereby present a
63-year-old man with PCACC located on the shin. No previous
similar case has been reported in English literature; therefore,
we decided to share our experience about its clinical behavior,
histopathologic findings, and management.
