    Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare malignant skin tumor, first described in the 1970s, primarily affecting middle-aged individuals.

  • 2

    PCACC typically presents as a slow-growing, painless nodule or plaque, often with perineural invasion and a high rate of local recurrence.

  • 3

    Histopathological examination is essential for diagnosing PCACC, revealing infiltrative growth patterns and characteristic architectural features.

  • 4

    Wide local excision is the standard treatment for PCACC, aiming to achieve negative margins and minimize local recurrence risk.

  • 5

    Long-term follow-up is crucial for patients with PCACC due to the potential for delayed recurrence after initial treatment.
