A Rarity, Oncocytoma of the Eyelid

Abstract

Eyelid tumors are most common in the skin, and lacrimal gland and adnex origin are very rare. Although oxyphilic adenoma (oncocytoma) is generally located in the internal organ, it is one of the rare areas where it can hold around the eyes. Oncocytomas are one of the rare benign tumors that usually appear as cystic lesions around the eyes and can be diagnosed with punctum biopsies. If it is not excised totally, it is one of the tumors that can progress locally and become malignant. Although the cases with periocular, peripunktal and lacrimal glands are located in the literature, eyelid placement is very rare.
