Eyelid involvement is rare. We describe a 70-year-old man who was examined for right upper eyelid eccrine porocarcinoma that was treated with Mohs surgery. Eccrine porocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant eyelid tumors. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
