“…We previously reported a case of oncocytoma of the eye lid [1] and suggested that oncocytes can be divided into co lumnar-type cells that constitute the tubular portion and pol ygonal-type cells that constitute the solid portion of the tu mor. However, the questions of whether there are essential differences between these two cell types and what the essen tial differences are if there are any, remained unanswered.…”

An oncocytoma of the upper eyelid that occurred in an 82-year-old male was studied immunohistologically according to the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method (secretory component, carbohydrate antigen 19–9, carcinoembryonic antigen, anticytokeratin AE1/AE3, S–100 protein, myoglobin, actin, vimentin). The staining properties of columnar-type oncocytes were the same as those of epithelial cells of excretory ducts µ of Moll’s gland, but those of polygonal-type oncocytes were similar to those of myoepithelial cells of Moll’s gland. Our results suggested that excretory duct epithelial cells of Moll’s gland are the origin of oncocytoma of the eyelid.

“…They have not attracted much attention because of their rarity [3]. The anatomical location and histological findings of oncocytomas of the peripunctum suggest they originate from the epithelium of Moll's gland or the epithelium of the lacrimal canaliculus [3][4][5][6]. Our findings suggest that oncocytomas of the peripunctum originate from the epithelium of the lacrimal canaliculus, because histopathological examination showed that the lacrimal canaliculus space was entirely replaced by tumor cells and there was no continuity to the skin or conjunctival surface.…”

“…Oncocytoma of the peripunctum or eyelid margin is rare. We are aware of four reported cases of peripunctal oncocytoma [3][4][5][6], and four cases of the eyelid margin not involving the peripunctal area [1,[7][8][9]. This distribution was somewhat unexpected, because the area of the eyelid margin is much larger than that of the peripunctum.…”

“…These tumors may develop in the lacrimal glands (7), sac (7-10), and the caruncle (7)(8)(9)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Some palpebral oncocytomas like this case originate from the epithelium of Moll's gland or from the epithelium of the lacrimal duct (16)(17)(18)(19). In spite of appereance of oncocytes in the lacrimal apparatus, palpebral involvement is a rare site for tumor formation (20).…”

Eyelid tumors are most common in the skin, and lacrimal gland and adnex origin are very rare. Although oxyphilic adenoma (oncocytoma) is generally located in the internal organ, it is one of the rare areas where it can hold around the eyes. Oncocytomas are one of the rare benign tumors that usually appear as cystic lesions around the eyes and can be diagnosed with punctum biopsies. If it is not excised totally, it is one of the tumors that can progress locally and become malignant. Although the cases with periocular, peripunktal and lacrimal glands are located in the literature, eyelid placement is very rare.Göz kapağı tümörleri en sık deri kaynaklı olup, lacrimal gland ve adnex kaynaklı olanlar oldukça nadirdir. Oksifilik adenom (onkositom) genellikle iç organda olmasına rağmen, göz çevresi de tutabildiği nadir bölgelerden biridir. Onkositomlar genellikle göz çevresindeki kistik lezyonlar olarak görülen ve punktum biyopsileri ile teşhis edilebilen nadir görülen benign tümörlerden biridir. Total olarak eksize edilmezse lokal agresif seyredip malignleşebilen tümörlerdendir. Periokuler, peripunktal ve lakrimal gland yerleşimli olgular literatürde yer almasına rağmen, göz kapağı yerleşimi oldukça nadirdir. AbstractÖz 57
