“…It may mimic a chalazion in that it presents as a slow-growing, painless nodule. [456] However, firm nodules with associated loss or distortion of cilia or skin ulceration in a middle-aged or elderly patient give a clue about a possible underlying malignancy. [2]…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rarely seen malignant epithelial tumor of the eyelids. We present a rare case of primary ACC arising from the tarsal plate of the lower lid that clinically resembled a chalazion. A 66-year-old female presented with a recurring nodule in her left lower lid. She gave history of surgery for chalazion removal from the same site twice earlier. An initial diagnosis of a recurrent chalazion was made, and incision and curettage was done. Light microscopy showed a solid tumor composed predominantly of sheet-like and nested pattern of basaloid to low-columnar cells with intervening fibrovascular septa and lacking an obvious cribriform or tubular architecture. The tumor cells were positive for pan-cytokeratin and CD117 and negative for adipophilin, HMB45, and BerEP4. A diagnosis of solid variant of ACC of the eyelid was made. Wide excision was performed and eyelid defect was reconstructed.

Introduction cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare epithelial tumor with slow development, it is most often described in the scalp; palpebral involvement is very rare. And is accompanied by local aggressiveness and frequent recurrence. The aim of this work is to discuss the management and the interest of a close surveillance of adenoid cystic carcinoma. Case presentation The authors report a case of palpebral cystic adenoid carcinoma in a 65-year-old patient who underwent surgical excision followed by reconstruction of the loss of substance. Discussion Cutaneous cystic adenoid carcinoma of the eyelids remains a very rare entity that must be evoked in front of a nodular cutaneous palpebral tumor that progresses slowly. An early diagnosis and a complete excision guarantee a better prognosis. Conclusion Adenoid cystic carcinoma, because of its local aggressiveness and its capacity to recur despite satisfactory surgical removal, requires long-term surveillance. Its surgery may be responsible for functional and aesthetic sequelae.
