Summary

Introduction

Superficial Angiomyxomas (SA) are a group of uncommon soft tissue, myxoid mesenchymal tumours, found especially on the trunk [1,2,3]. A 39-year-old male presented with edema in the right upper eyelid (Figure 1), with no cutaneous lesions, which appeared the year prior to the hospital presentation and did not respond to cortisone therapy. He had no personal or family history of ophthalmic disorders, skin tumours or other types of cancer. Intraoperative, the tumour invaded the orbital lobe of the lacrimal gland, but we managed to perform a complete excision (Figure 6)
