Abstract

Abstract : A 59-year-old woman presented with a 4-year history of a progressively growing, subcutaneous, painless, left lower eyelid mass with associated swelling and discomfort. Excisional biopsy established the diagnosis of a myoepithelioma, a tumor which, to the authors' knowledge, has not been previously reported in the lower eyelid. Abstract : This study describes the occurrence of a myoepithelioma in the lower eyelid, to the authors' knowledge the first such case reported in the literature.
