Abstract
A 78-year-old woman with recurrent chalazia of the upper eyelid was fo und to have mucinous eccrine carcinoma. This rare pathologic entity, w ith low metastatic potential, nevertheless has a significant recurrenc e rate. This case underscores the importance of considering this tumor in recalcitrant eyelid lesions and highlights the pathology of this t umor. A summary of previous cases is also presented.
