Abstract

ABSTRACT Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a malignant adnexal tumor that masquerades as a benign periocular lesion. We present a case of a 29-year-old male with an eyelid PCMC misdiagnosed as a chalazion. He underwent Mohs microscopic surgery for definitive treatment, with no recurrence at his 36 month follow up. Given the rarity and poorer prognosis in younger patients, a high index of suspicion is crucial for biopsying periocular lesions that fail conservative therapy.
