Abstract

Eyelid tumors, including metastatic lid tumors, present clinically as recurrent chalazia, multicentric nodules, ul cerated lesions, diffuse swelling, or chronic blepharocon juntivitis. Lid tumors consist of benign lesions(69%) and malignant lesions(31%). Basal cell carcinoma and squa mous cell carcinoma account for 92% of the malignant lesions. Metastatic lid disease was found to be of rare occurence, accounting for 0.1% of all lid lesions and 0.3% of malignant lid lesions. We report a case of metastatic lid carcinoma of sto mach cancer. A 60-year-old man developed a painless, slow-growing nodular lesion of his right lower eyelid. Excisional biopsy revealed metastatic undifferentiated ade nocarcinoma. We believe this is the first case in Korean literature.
