Microcystic adnexal carcinoma.
A 71-year-old woman presented with a firm flesh-colored plaque with overlying whitish discoloration that had been present on her left cheek for at least 15 years (Figure 1). The lesion measured 1.6 x 1.1 cm in diameter. The patient had a history of radiation treatment for acne. What is your diagnosis? What should be the course of management?
