Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare malignant cutaneous adnexal neoplasm, often presenting as a flesh-colored and slow-growing indurated plaque or cystic nodule in the mid-facial region. Its characteristic indolent presentation usually leads to initial misdiagnosis, resulting in tumor mismanagement and added morbidity due to increased propensity for local invasion.
