Abstract

Mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a rare type of salivary gland tumor named for its morphological and genetic similarity to secretory carcinoma of the breast. These tumors are most often found in the parotid gland but have been described in several other mucosal locations of the head and neck. In this case report, a cutaneous lesion most closely resembling MASC was found in a neck mass of a 64-year-old male patient without evidence of a primary salivary gland or oral tumor. The lesion was excised, and the patient remains disease free to date. This case depicts a rare tumor in the skin most closely mimicking MASC and brings additional awareness to dermatopathologists of this tumor.
