Eccrine poroma of the eyelid

A clinicopathological case report of a 71-year-old Caucasoid man with an un usual right lower eyelid lesion, which proved to be an eccrine poroma, is p resented. Benign eccrine poromas have not previously been reported to occur on the eyelid. Complete surgical excision of this lesion proved to be cura tive, with no recurrence after 3 years follow up. Eccrine poromas are commo n benign tumours of the intraepidermal sweat duct unit. Sweat glands occur commonly on the eyelids and eccrine poroma should be considered in the diff erential diagnosis of eyelid tumours.
