ER: estrogen receptor MSK-IMPACT: Memorial Sloan Ketteringe Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets PET: positron emission tomography PR: progesterone receptor INTRODUCTION Cutaneous adnexal tumors are rare and can present a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Distinguishing primary cutaneous tumors from metastatic carcinoma to the skin requires thorough diagnostic evaluation, including imaging, endoscopy, and histologic and molecular pathologic analysis. As with many rare cancers, there is no standard of care management. Here we present the diagnostic approach for a primary cutaneous adenocarcinoma of the scalp with lymph node metastasis and subsequent multimodal therapy.

Postoperative concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
BACKGROUND Despite resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region (SCCHN) often recur. Because adjuvant concurrent chemoradiation reduces recurrence among high-risk mucosal SCCHN, we sought to understand its efficacy among high-risk cutaneous SCCHN. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with cutaneo...

متن کاملPrimary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma of shin
Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) which originates from the skin adnexa, most probably eccrine and apocrine glands. This tumor has a head and neck predilection and also occurs in the chest, abdomen, back, and perineum. We hereby present a 63-year-old man with PCACC located on the shin.
