Abstract
We report the case of a 38-year-old patient with a tubular apocrine adenoma with papillary differentiation. The clinician was challenged in her diagnosis by the initially misleading appearance and ectopic location. Histopathological findings and immunohistochemistry delivered conclusive proof for the correct diagnosis. Therefore, it is important for the ophthalmologist to request histopathological analysis to diagnose and differentiate from malignancy. A complete local excision is recommended to prevent recurrence.Entities:
