Overview

This correction addresses the misplacement of figures in the case report of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) of the right forearm. The corrected figures and their captions are now provided.

Background

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare malignant skin tumor that presents diagnostic challenges due to its atypical locations and histological similarities to other neoplasms. Accurate diagnosis is critical for management, as treatment protocols are not standardized due to the rarity of the condition. Understanding the dermoscopic features and histopathological characteristics is essential for clinicians to differentiate PCACC from other skin lesions.

Data Highlights

No numerical or trial data is presented in this correction.

Key Findings

Figures 1 and 2 in the original case report were interchanged.
The corrected figures now accurately depict the dermoscopic characteristics of PCACC.
PCACC is an indolent malignant neoplasm that requires histopathological validation for diagnosis.
Dermoscopic features of PCACC include a homogeneous erythematous background with arborizing vessels.
Histology remains the gold standard for diagnosing PCACC.

Clinical Implications

Clinicians should ensure accurate figure representation in case reports to avoid misinterpretation of diagnostic features.

Conclusion

This correction provides the corrected figure placements in the clinical report of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma.
