Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is a cutaneous condition characterized by a tumor that usually presents on the chest, scalp, or vulva of middle- to older-aged persons.[1]: 670 

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinomas have been misinterpreted as metastatic lesions.[2]

It was characterized in 1975.[3]
