Abstract
we describe here a 43 year old woman who came to eye opd with a chief complaint of a mass in left lower eyelid since 4 years. On local examination the mass was non-tender, well defined margin, smooth, mobile and non-adherent to underlying tarsal plate. Other ocular examinations were normal. General investigations were done. The mass was excised by simple excision under peribulbar local anaesthesia and sent for histopathological examination. The report showed a well encapsulated malignant tumour composed of intermediate cells in sheets admixed with spindloid cells. Many polygonal cells with oncocytic cytoplasm were also seen in the sheets. Abnormal mitosis was noted. The features were suggestive of mucoepidermoid carcinoma- spindloid oncocytic variant. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of eyelid is a rare malignant sweat gland neoplasm. To our knowledge this is the 1 st report of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of eyelid here in our Institute.
