The highest rate of incidence is observed among<br>young adults, without any sex predilection. The most commont site of presentation is the head and neck and ventral aspect of<br>the trunk. We report a case of 80-year-old male who presented with leg swelling for the past 25 years. Cytosmear showed tight<br>clusters of multilayered, uniform, cuboidal cells arranged at places around pink hyaline material. Cells were uniform with scant<br>cytoplasm, round-to-ovoid nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli. A differential diagnosis of skin adnexal tumor and adenoid cystic<br>carcinoma was considered. The histologic findings confirmed ES. Cytological features of ES are sparsely reported in the literature.<br>Although histopathological examination is considered to be the gold standard with characteristic diagnostic features, cytology<br>can also play an important role in the management of such rare adnexal tumors.<br><br></p> ER -
