Abstract excerpt
Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma is a low-grade eyelid tumor. Small biopsies and insensitive immunohistochemistry predispose to misdiagnosis. We aimed to identify clarifying immunohistochemical markers, molecular markers, or both. Clinicopathologic data (22 cases) were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry (insulinoma-associated protein 1, BCL-2, mucin 2 [MUC2], mucin 4, androgen receptor, β-catenin, and...
