ABSTRACT
An 81-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging indurated, firm lesion encompassing one-third of the left upper eyelid. Four years prior, a similar lesion at that same site had been excised and diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a full-thickness excision of the lesion with frozen section, cryotherapy, and reconstruction. A free tarsal graft and hard palate composite graft was used to reconstruct the posterior lamella. A Mustarde myocutaneous rotational flap was used to reconstruct the anterior lamella. Histopathology illustrated nests of pleomorphic basophilic cells with varying mitotic activity and immunohistochemical staining consistent with eccrine porocarcinoma. This case highlights similarities in the presentation and appearance of basal cell carcinoma and periorbital eccrine porocarcinoma. It is possible that there was de novo development of the 2 tumors on the eyelid or recurrence of a misdiagnosed eccrine porocarcinoma. Eccrine porocarcinomas are rare malignant sweat gland tumors associated with a risk of recurrence after excision and metastasis.
