Purpose: To report adult cases of superior orbital apocrine hidrocystoma. Methods: Retrospective case series of three patients with superior orbital apocrine hidrocystoma and blepharoptosis with review of the clinical aspects of each of the cases. Results: All three cases presented with blepharoptosis. Two of the cases had occult hidrocystoma, and one was visibly subcutaneous at presentation. Conclusions: Although rare and more common along the eyelid margin, apocrine hidrocystomas may occur in the orbit leading to secondary blepharoptosis and should be included within the differential diagnosis of orbital cysts. Physicians should therefore be aware of this possibility.

Apocrine hidrocystomas of the eyelids are cystic tumors that have their origin in the glandular portion of the apocrine gland; in most cases they cause only mild or absent symptoms, but they may annoy patients when in huge number, usually interfering with the field of view and disfiguring of upper part of the face. Consequently, those affected usually ask these lesions to be removed. Although a solitary lesion can be treated easily with surgical excision, the elimination of multiple lesions may be problematic because of their number and locations. Many approaches were proposed for solving this particular clinical presentation. We present a difficult case of multiple apocrine hidrocystomas successfully treated using carbon dioxide laser with a good cosmetic outcome taking the opportunity for a literature review.

“…It usually appears a smooth or multiloculated cystic lesion in the periocular region. Size is variable from 1 to 10 mm, and due to the presence of a bluish hue, it can be mistaken for a melanoma or blue nevus 1–3. Microscopically, a cystic lesion lined by double layer of cells with a clear lumen is characteristic of apocrine hidrocystoma.…”
