Primary cutaneous mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents between 10-30% of primary carcinomas of the submandibulary, parotid and minor salivary glands. Cutaneous involvement is extremely rare and more, as a primary origin of the tumor. A few cases of primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the skin have been described. We report an 83-year-old man presenting a primary cutaneous mucoepidermoid carcinoma over his right cheek.
