Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the eyelid- a rare tumor
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare, mucin-secreting adnexal neoplasm. We report two cases of successfully treated primary mucinous adenocarcinoma. The first patient is a 66-year-old gentleman presented with painless, left upper eyelid mass for 6 months duration. Histopathological report of the excisional biopsy revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma with margins close to tumour (< 1 mm). Patient was subsequently referred for radiotherapy but he declined. Till date there is no local recurrence. The second patient is a 55-year-old Malay gentleman presented with painless, left lower eyelid mass for 3 years duration. An excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological report showed mucinous adenocarcinoma with involvement of surgical margins. Subsequently he underwent a repeat excisional biopsy. Full oncological screen excluded presence of primary mucinous carcinoma elsewhere and of any metastatic spread in the two patients. Keywords: primary tumour, mucinous adenocarcinoma, eyelid mass.
