Abstract:
Metastatic carcinoma of the eyelid is extremely rare; Oltmans reported the first case in 1930. We experienced a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the left lower eyelid in a 51-year-old male patient. The lesion was clinically similar to chalazion. Histopathologic findings of biopsy revealed gastric adenocarcinoma.
