ABSTRACT
Purpose@#To report a case of apocrine hidrocystoma in the lacrimal gland.Case summary:
A 51-year-old woman presented with a left upper eyelid mass that occurred two years before presenting tohospital. Upon physical examination, a painless palpable mass on the left upper eyelid was observed. Based on slit-lamp examination,a pinkish mass with a well-circumscribed border on the left upper temporal conjunctiva was observed. Orbital computedtomography showed a well-defined contrast enhanced mass of 8 × 9 × 9 mm in the lacrimal lesion. The mass was removed completelyunder local anesthesia. Biopsy confirmed that the mass was an apocrine hidrocystoma. There was no recurrence at oneyear postoperatively. @*Conclusions@#This is the first report of an apocrine hidrocystoma in a lacrimal lesion in Korea. Apocrine hidrocystoma is rarelyfound on lacrimal gland lesions, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lacrimal gland mass.
