Popis: Primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma of the skin is a rare tumour. The most common site is the eyelid but other parts of the skin may be affected. We describe a recurrent primary mucinous carcinoma of the eyelid in a female and discuss its pathology. The tumour should be distinguished from other eccrine carcinomas, particularly adenoid cystic carcinoma, a tumour with which it is often confused. Eccrine mucinous carcinoma is less malignant than other eccrine carcinomas. It may recur locally but it rarely metastasises.
