Abstract

Eccrine acrospiroma or Nodular hidradenomas are extremely rare sweat gland tumors of eyelid that arise as intradermal nodules from eccrine sweat glands. This case reports documents evaluation of a nodular mass of upper eyelid and its adequate management. Clinical examination followed by wide local excision and histopathologic evaluation of mass was done. Clinically, the mass was diagnosed as sebaceous cell carcinoma of eyelid. Post-operative histopathologic evaluation of the mass was suggestive of benign acrospiroma. Sweat gland tumors constitute of a very small proportion of eyelid tumors which often mimic other malignant tumors of eyelid.
