International Conference on

A

59 years old Caucasian man was presented at our

hospital with painless slowly growing disfiguring mass

on his left lower eyelid of 1- year duration. On examination, a

Solitary, well defined, firm, mobile nodule measured 12 mm

× 10 mm with brownish & skin colored areas and crusted

surface was identified on the middle third of the left lower

eyelid (Figure 1). The nodule wasn’t tender and didn’t bleed

on touch with normal surrounding skin and no distortion

of the lid margin. Local lymph nodes weren’t enlarged and

there were no other skin lesions elsewhere. The lesion was

thought not to be malignant due to the following: Normal

smooth eyelid contour, normal surrounding skin, no lash

loss, smooth non beaded border, no surface telangiectasia

and no bleeding on touch, so mass resection without

wide safety margin was planned. Excisional biopsy and

histopathological examination were performed. Sections

revealed large expansile masses of squamous epithelial cells

with well-defined borders, connected to the epidermis with

multiple horn cysts and squamous eddies. The resection

margins were free of tumor tissue and no malignancy was

detected (Figure 2). Based on these findings, a diagnosis of

eccrine poroma was made. Follow up was done and no local

recurrence was detected through one year (Figure 3). Eccrine

poromas are fairly common, benign, slow-growing solitary

adnexal tumors originating from the intraepidermal portion

of the eccrine sweat duct. The most common sites are palm

& sole due to density of eccrine glands. Eyelid poroma, as

our case, is extremely rare. To our knowledge, only 4 cases

have been reported previously and our case is supposed to

be the 5th one. Clinically, poromas can be mistaken for basal

or squamous cell carcinoma, hemangioma, cysts or warts.

Definitive treatment is complete surgical excision with clear

margins to avoid local recurrence.
