title: Meibomian gland carcinoma seeding intracranial soft tissues.
abstract: Meibomian gland carcinoma is a rare sebaceous gland malignant tumor of the eyelid. Local recurrence and regional lymph node metastases are common among this group of eyelid neoplasms. Distant liver metastases have been mentioned in one case report, but this represents and unusual finding. In addition to local recurrence and regional lymph node metastases, this autopsy case report demonstrates meibomian gland carcinoma with extension to the trigeminal ganglia and metastases to the cerebellum.
