  • Title: Giant eccrine hidrocystoma presenting with unilateral ptosis and epiphora.
    Author: Sheth HG, Raina J.
    Journal: Int Ophthalmol; 2008 Dec; 28(6):429-31. PubMed ID: 17922081.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the presentation and management of an atypical and advanced case of hidrocystoma of the eyelids with associated functional complications. METHODS: Interventional case report with clinical photographs at presentation, intra-operative photographs, and histology. RESULTS: A 55-year-old lady who presented with massive upper and lower eyelid swellings causing mechanical ptosis and epiphora, respectively, was managed by surgical excision of the lesions. Histology confirmed eccrine hidrocystoma. CONCLUSIONS: Eccrine hidrocystoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses and such lesions may cause significant functional and cosmetic morbidity despite their histologically benign nature.
