DESCRIPTION

An 89-year-old man presented with a right eyelid lesion of several months’ duration. The lesion measured 1×2 cm and involved one-third of the lower eyelid, including the lateral canthus (Fig 1). The tumor initially resembled a basal cell carcinoma; however, after excision, pathology revealed the lesion to be a primary mucinous carcinoma (Figs 2 and 3).
