ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old woman presented with signs and symptoms consistent with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. MRI revealed a medial canthal mass with orbital and intracranial extension. The patient was treated with wide surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiation. A diagnosis of malignant hidradenoma of the medial canthus was confirmed by histopathology. Despite aggressive therapy, the patient developed metastatic disease and died within 1 year.
