Publication Mucinous Carcinoma of the Skin: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2022) Jhunjhunwala, Adarsh Kumar; Magar, Dilasma Gharti; Upreti, Dipesh; Thapa, Niku; Ghosh, Arnab; Thapa, Sushma; Regmi, Sudeep; Timilsina, BishowdeepAbstract Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin is a rare malignant neoplasm showing predilection to the periorbital region. These tumours are indolent and low-grade, with a tendency for local, sometimes multiple, recurrences. Distinguishing between these primary neoplasms and the more frequent metastatic mucinous deposits on the skin from primaries in the breast and gastrointestinal tract constitutes a diagnostic dilemma. In this case report, we have put forth the findings of a 70-year-old male who presented with a slow-growing periorbital swelling and was subsequently diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma. An extensive workup in search of another primary tumour failed to show a primary malignancy elsewhere and the diagnosis of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the skin was rendered.
