Abstract

A 62-year-old woman developed a recurrent mucinous sweat gland adenocarcinoma of the eyelid. The clinical characteristics of this rare, primary adnexal neoplasm of skin in our patient were, to our knowledge, unique. The tumor mimicked a lacrimal sac tumor and had orbital extension demonstrated preoperatively by computed axial tomography. Orbital extension of the tumor mass was confirmed during a wide, en bloc, excisional biopsy.
