@entity1489 are rare @entity5 , and knowledge on their exact histological development and pathogenesis remains fragmented. Their diagnosis and management are frequently troublesome, especially for @entity5 . We present a retrospective case series of @entity5 of the face. Records of @entity1 with histologically confirmed adnexal @entity1489 managed at a single department during the period 1995 to 2004 were reviewed. @entity1 biodata, surgical management, and main outcome measures such as locoregional recurrence, distant @entity3 , and disease-free and overall survival were recorded.Eleven @entity1 were identified from record analysis. Lesions were mainly located at the eyelids and the nose. All @entity1 were managed with wide local excision and restoration with local flaps. Two @entity1 showed regional @entity3 and underwent radical neck dissection. Nine of 11 @entity1 were alive and free of local and/or regional disease on final follow-up. Two @entity1 died of causes unrelated to the disease. Clinical and histological features, @entity5 biological behavior, diagnostic difficulties, and recommended management are discussed.In conclusion, adnexal @entity1489 should be considered in the differential diagnosis of @entity1489 , particularly in view of their more sinister prognosis compared with other nonmelanoma @entity1489 . They are acknowledged to demand a more aggressive plan of surgical treatment.
