Orbit. 2011 Aug;30(4):189-91. doi: 10.3109/01676830.2011.579682.

Abstract

A 84-year-old-woman presented a painless eyelid mass in her right eyelid. A biopsy was made and the anatomopathologic study showed a spiradenoma with malignant changes. The patient rejected any kind of treatment in spite of the prognosis of the lesion. Radiological and pathological features of this infrequent eyelid tumour are discussed.
