  • Title: [Mucinous sweat gland carcinoma of the eyelid].
    Author: Müller PL, Herwig MC, Holz FG, Loeffler KU.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2016 Sep; 113(9):779-82. PubMed ID: 26801324.
    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old patient presented with a painless nodular tumor of the upper left eyelid, which was first noticed 6 months prior to the initial presentation. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the excised tumor revealed a mucinous sweat gland carcinoma. This very rare neoplasm (1/150,000 skin lesions) is located within the ocular adnexa in 40 % of cases. If completely excised the prognosis is usually good; however, due to the histological similarity to metastases of an adenocarcinoma, a hitherto unknown primary tumor at another site should be excluded.
