  • Title: Eccrine porocarcinoma of the upper eyelid.
    Author: Kim Y, Scolyer RA, Chia EM, Steven D, Ghabrial R.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2005 Nov; 46(4):278-81. PubMed ID: 16197432.
    Abstract:
    A 75-year-old Caucasian man presented with foreign-body-type irritation of the left eye. Physical examination revealed a 12 x 10-mm nodule in his left upper eyelid, which reportedly had been present unchanged for more than 40 years. No other ophthalmological abnormalities were present. Incisional biopsy of the lesion revealed a malignant tumour that was thought to possibly represent a sebaceous carcinoma. However, a subsequent wide surgical excision showed that the tumour was an eccrine porocarcinoma, a rare sweat gland adenocarcinoma arising from the acrosyringium.
