title: An Aggressive Microcystic Adnexal Carcinoma Infiltrating the Sternum.
abstract: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare cutaneous tumor that is often misdiagnosed and has the potential to be aggressive. Mohs surgery is the treatment of choice to prevent recurrences. We present a case of a large recurrent microcystic adnexal carcinoma on the sternum, initially diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. This tumor infiltrated the muscle and bone and was unresectable with Mohs surgery. <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2017;16(2):180-181.</em></p>.
