Microcystic Adnexal Carcinoma: A Rare, Commonly Misdiagnosed Malignancy.

We present a case report of a 43-year-old male Air Force U-2 pilot with a benign presentation and initial clinical misdiagnoses of MAC, who underwent Mohs micrographic surgery followed by cervicofacial flap reconstruction of a 5.5 × 3.5 cm defect. We also identify increased radiation exposure of U-2 pilots as a potential risk factor for the early development of MAC, emphasizing the importance of exploring patient risk factors while having a high index of suspicion to aid in early diagnosis.
