Abstract
Apocrine carcinoma of the eyelid is a rare neoplasm. We present a case of this carcinoma accompa-nied by parotid gland lymph node metastasis. The primary tumor of the eyelid was resected and diagnosed as an idiopathic poorly differentiated carcinoma of the skin. After postoperative radiotherapy to the eyelid, a small mass was found in the parotid gland and diagnosed as lymph node metastasis of apocrine carcinoma from the eyelid tumor. With apocrine carcinoma, there is a high risk of lymph node metastasis. To treat this metastasis, we administered postoperative radiotherapy to the parotid gland and ipsilateral neck region.
