Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an extremely rare and indolent cutaneous malignancy with very infrequent distant metastasis. We present a case of primary cutaneous ACC with bilateral lung metastases in a 57-year-old male along with literature review. To the best of our knowledge this is the tenth case of primary cutaneous ACC reported presenting with distant metastasis.
