Abstract
Primary Mucinous eccrine carcinoma (MEC) is a rare malignant neoplasm of skin believed to arise from eccrine sweat gland commonly with periocular involvement. Here we report a case of 60-year male with a recurrence of unilateral nasomaxillary mass and epiphora. Imaging suggested nasolacrimal duct as probable site of origin. Histopathology and immunochemistry confirmed the diagnosis and managed surgically. This case report emphasizes the significance of including primary MEC in the differential diagnosis of nasomaxillary mass for its recurrence nature and histological similarity with metastasis from other viscera.
