ABSTRACT
Mixed tumour of the skin is a rare entity also known as chondroid syringoma and pleomorphic adenoma. These usually present as slow-growing skin nodules with a smooth surface, clear boundaries, and no ulceration. Case series exist describing pleomorphic adenomas in the periocular region including the lids and orbit, separate to the more familiar lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma. These may arise from accessory or ectopic lacrimal gland tissue but in the eyelids are more likely to arise from sweat glands in the skin. Histopathological analysis of these lesions is important to identify complete excision, minimising recurrences and in identifying rare but potential malignant transformation. We describe the clinical features and outcomes in three cases of pleomorphic adenoma with two at the medial canthus (including one recurrence) and one in the brow region.
