Abstract
Oncocytoma rarely arises from the eyelid and only 2 cases have been re ported previously. We present a case of oncocytoma in the upper eyelid around the lacrimal punctum. Anatomical location and histological fin dings suggested that oncocytes of this tumor originated from the epith elium of Moll's gland or the lacrimal canaliculus.
