Popis: We present a case of Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum that originated in the eyelid and extended into the orbit. These tumors are very rare and have the potential to metastasize. A literature review of all the previous cases has been compiled from the Medline, EMBASE, and PubMed databases. We found that the majority of cases present on the head and neck and up to 17% of cases showed metastatic progression. This is the first case to show orbital involvement and highlights the need to remain vigilant with such lesions, as they have a tendency to become aggressive.
