Abstract

We report three highly unusual primary head and neck malignancies: primary leiomyosarcoma of the sinonasal passages and cavities, Primary Cutaneous Mucinous Carcinoma (PMC) and primary cutaneous endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma of the head and neck are extremely rare neoplasm's and one must rule out that these lesions represent metastatic lesions rather than primary lesions; a task that can be very difficult to do with absolute certainty.

Keywords:

PMC; Leiomyosarcoma; PMSC; WHO
