2022

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm usually confined to the salivary glands, lungs, and breasts. Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is an extremely rare entity with solitary cases reported at sites away from the scalp and chest. Hence, one must follow the multidisciplinary approach to exclude any primary ACC elsewhere in the body. We report a rare case of PCACC arising from the skin of the left lower limb in a 55-year-old woman with a history of recurrent swelling, clinically diagnosed as a metastatic tumor.
