[Sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid presenting as dry-eye-syndrome (author's transl)].
A case of sebaceous gland carcinoma presenting as a dry-eye-syndrome is documented. In spite of total removal of the primary tumor, as confirmed histopathologically, the patient developed metastases to the neck lymph nodes several months after orbital exenteration. The importance of early diagnosis is stressed.
