title: [Meibomian gland adenocarcinoma with regional lymph node metastasis].
abstract: Meibomian gland carcinoma of the eyelid is a common neoplasm which clinically simulates a benign condition of chalazion. Although growing slowly, metastasis to regional lymph nodes is frequent, at a rate of 17-28% in this country. Eleven (11) cases of Meibomian gland carcinoma with regional lymph node metastasis are reported, and the therapeutic modalities have been tailored to suit the individual cases, including full-thickness local excision, orbital exenteration, radical cervical dissection, and superficial parotidectomy.
