title: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma.
abstract: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare cutaneous neoplasm characterized by invasive, relentless, and destructive local growth. The incidence of perineural invasion and tumor recurrence is high. We report two cases of microcystic adnexal carcinoma with typical clinical features. The use of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded horizontal Mohs sections is described in one case. We also review the current concepts and management of microcystic adnexal carcinoma.
