Primary cutaneous invasive mucinous ( eccrine/apocrine ) carcinoma, with nice myoepithelial-marked in situ component.

Mucinous carcinoma. The intact peripheral myoepithelial cell layer, highlighted by immunohistochemistry, demonstrates the in situ component. Ipso facto, this tumor is not a metastatisis from the parotid neoplasm, but has arisen primarily in the skin.

In my opinion, this has features of both endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma.  There are in situ and invasive components and one could speculate that the mucin-producing carcinoma may be the in situ component of the invasive mucinous carcinoma.  That there may be an association between these lesions has been suggested by some authors.
