Bone marrow relapse in primary mucinous carcinoma of skin

Abstract

Primary mucinous carcinoma of skin is a rare adnexal tumor arising from the eccrine sweat gland. The tumors grow slowly and have low rates of local recurrence and rare chances of distant metastasis. The authors report a 70-year-old man with primary mucinous skin carcinoma who had a relapse in bone marrow 19 months after initial treatment.
