Abstract
Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the skin is an adnexal, malignant, and infrequent neoplasm that mainly affects men with a 2: 1 ratio, with respect to women. It presents higher incidence between the sixth and seventh decade of life, and manifests as a single tumor, asymptomatic, of variable size. The most frequent location is the periorbital region and scalp. We report the case of a 92-year-old patient with a diagnosis of primary mucinous skin carcinoma, without evidence of systemic disease or local recurrence one year after resection by Mohs micrographic surgery. We describe its main clinical features, dermatoscopic and histopathological findings
