Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2008 May-Jun;24(3):221-3. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e31816e4167.

Abstract

Eccrine porocarcinoma is an unusual, locally aggressive tumor with a significant risk of metastasis and recurrence after surgical excision. Eyelid involvement is rare. We describe a 70-year-old man who was examined for right upper eyelid eccrine porocarcinoma that was treated with Mohs surgery. Eccrine porocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant eyelid tumors.
