| Popis: | A 60-year-old lady of Chinese origin presented with a right medial canthal mass. The lesion had been present for many years but progressively increased in size a few months prior to the consultation. Clinical examination revealed a medial canthal mass measuring 1.8 cm in diameter. It was firm with an irregular crusting surface. It was not attached to underlying deep lamella, and there were overlying telangiectatic vessels with contact bleeding. Excisional biopsy of the lesion confirmed a diagnosis of eccrine porocarcinoma. Eccrine porocarcinoma rarely occurs in the eyelid, and this is the first reported case of its occurrence in non-Caucasian patient. Given the significant risk of recurrence and metastasis, long-term surveillance is warranted. Although being rare, ophthalmologists should be vigilant of this potentially life-threatening lesion in the management of eyelid tumors. |
