“…Primary mucinous tumors of the periorbital region have also been described. Primary mucinous tumors of the eyelids are relatively indolent and have an incidence on the order of 0.7 per million [23][24][25][26]. As both metastatic and primary mucinous tumors can present in the orbital/periorbital region distinguishing between these rare tumors can be challenging [27].…”

Metastases arising from primary tumors of the gastrointestinal tract are not commonly encountered in the orbit. Colorectal carcinomas are subcategorized based on morphological and genetic characteristics with these distinctions bearing therapeutic and prognostic significance. The behavior of these subcategories, including their propensity for orbital metastasis, differs, and clinicians treating these tumors must be aware of their metastatic profiles. This report describes a 51-year-old female with right upper lid swelling and ptosis ultimately found, what we believe to be, the first reported case of signet ring cell colon carcinoma metastasizing to the levator muscle and superior orbit. This case serves as a reminder to all clinicians to consider orbital metastasis even in malignancies not typically found in this location.

“…EMPSGC is a rare tumor and like other sweat gland carcinomas tend to grow slowly; tumors of the American Joint Committee on Cancer category T2b or less are reported associated with better outcomes. [ 9 ] In the Indian scenario, even though extremely uncommon, it should be considered as a differential when encountered with a suspicious eyelid mass.…”

A 60-year-old male presented with a 6-month-old history of a left upper lid mass. The mass was excised, and histopathological evaluation showed a well-circumscribed, multinodular, intradermal tumor consisting of round-to-oval cells with round nuclei and mucin filled cysts. On immunohistochemical analysis, the tumor cells stained positively for cytokeratin (CK)-7, CK-8, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), mucicarmine, synaptophysin, gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). A diagnosis of endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) of the eyelid was made and at 6-month follow-up, no recurrence was noted. In this communication, we discuss the pathology and treatment options of EMPSGC of the eyelid. Although an uncommon entity, EMPSGC may be considered as a differential when encountered with a suspicious, potentially malignant eyelid mass.

“…The sweat glands of the eyelid can give rise to various pathologies. Syringomas are benign lesions of the eyelid sweat glands, which are more common in women and classically present as crops of small, firm, skin colored papules (Ciarloni et al 2016). A hydrocystoma is a translucent cyst located near the lid margin, usually resulting from blockage of the sweat glands of the eyelid.…”

Salzmann's nodular degeneration is a slowly progressive, degenerative condition of the cornea that is rare, noninflammatory, and characterized by bluish-white nodules on the corneal surface. EtiologyThe disease can be idiopathic, but often times, it is from chronic ocular surface irritation and associated with preexisting corneal diseases. It often presents in patients with a history of keratitis, most commonly trachomatous or phlyctenular, but also in vernal or other forms of keratitis caused by scarlet fever, measles, and uveitis (Das et al. 2005). Other associations include epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, Thygeson's punctate keratitis, postcorneal surgery, keratoconus, contact lens, and ocular trauma.
