Adnexal Neoplasms of the Eye

Adnexal neoplasms of the eyelid encompass a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors of sebaceous, follicular and sweat gland origin. Due to the specialized structures of the eyelid, these neoplasms present differently when compared with other locations. While most dermatologists and ophthalmologists are familiar with the commonly reported adnexal tumors of the eyelid, such as hidrocystoma, pilomatrixoma, and sebaceous carcinoma, many other adnexal neoplasms have been reported at this unique anatomic site.
