  • Title: Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the orbit arising from a stable, benign-appearing eyelid nodule.
    Author: Holds JB, Haines JH, Mamalis N, Anderson RL, Wolin MJ.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1990 Mar; 21(3):163-6. PubMed ID: 2161506.
    Abstract:
    Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare eyelid tumor which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a nodular or cystic lesion of the eyelid. This lesion may be locally aggressive and requires complete excision to prevent local recurrence or regional metastases. We present what we believe is the first report of a mucinous adenocarcinoma manifesting as a stable, benign-appearing nodule that has already given rise to a much larger secondary lesion. This case underscores the importance of performing a biopsy on even benign-appearing eyelid nodules.
