Abstract

Primary mucinous carcinoma of the eyelid is a low-grade neoplasm and a rare pathologic entity arising from the eccrine glands. We present here the case of 64-year-old man with a swelling in the eyelid, which was clinically diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst. However, histopathological examination later confirmed it as primary mucinous carcinoma.

Keywords
