Abstract:
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) exhibiting microcystic adnexal carcinoma-like differentiation is an extremely rare tumor that shows both squamous and ductal differentiation. This tumor is often misdiagnosed clinically and histologically and is confused with other malignant and benign cutaneous neoplasms. It usually occurs in middle-aged to older adults. Here, we report a case of SCC with microcystic adnexal carcinoma-like differentiation on the left chin of a 71-year-old male. The histopathological examination revealed a nodular tumor infiltrating the dermis, subcutaneous fat, and striated muscle tissue, consisting of both prominent atypical squamous differentiation and foci of duct-like structures.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
