Abstract

A clinicopathological case report of a 71-year-old Caucasoid man with an unusual right lower eyelid lesion, which proved to be an eccrine poroma, is presented. Benign eccrine poromas have not previously been reported to occur on the eyelid. Compete surgical excision of this lesion proved to be curative, with no recurrence after 3 years follow up. Eccrine poromas are common benign tumours of the intraepidermal sweat duct unit. Sweat glands occur commonly on the eyelids and eccrine poroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumours.
