Pleomorphic adenoma of the upper eyelid: A rare clinical presentation and review of literature

Abstract

A 26-year-old male presented with a cystic mass in the right upper eyelid of 3 years duration. The lesion was 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm in size with a smooth surface, nontender, and freely mobile under the skin. Complete surgical excision of the lesion was done under local anesthesia. The histopathological findings were suggestive of a pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the right upper eyelid. PA of the eyelid is a rare tumor and needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid mass lesions. Complete excision can help prevent future recurrences.
