Abstract
AIM: To report on the clinical features of eccrine hidrocystoma involving the eyelid. METHODS: Data on a series of consecutive patients with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis were reviewed. RESULTS: Among 34 patients, 69 tumours were identified. The mean age at diagnosis was 59 years (range 39-91 years). The majority (71%) of patients had only a single tumour. The tumours appeared as a small (median size=1 mm) clear cystic lesion with 87% located near the eyelid margin. CONCLUSIONS: The eccrine hidrocystoma is a benign small cystic tumour that characteristically occurs close to but does not involve the eyelid margin.
