We present a 72-year-old woman who presented with a slowly enlarging, asymptomatic, cystic nodule on the right eyebrow, and a 66-year-old woman who had a reddish, nodular lesion on the left lower eyelid. Incisional biopsy from the two neoplasms showed dermal epithelial cell islands embedded in mucin pools. Tumour cells stained positive for cytokeratin 7, oestrogen and progesterone receptors, and negative for vimentin and S-100 protein. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma. Extensive work-ups excluded cutaneous metastases from primary visceral mucinous carcinomas. To ensure complete tumour removal, both patients underwent Mohs' micrographic surgery (standard fresh-frozen technique). They remain disease-free 42 and 26 months after surgical excision, respectively. Mohs' micrographic surgery appears to be a rational and effective treatment for this uncommon malignancy.
