A case of oncocytoma in the eyelid.
Oncocytoma rarely arises from the eyelid and only 2 cases have been reported previously. We present a case of oncocytoma in the upper eyelid around the lacrimal punctum. Anatomical location and histological findings suggested that oncocytes of this tumor originated from the epithelium of Moll's gland or the lacrimal canaliculus.
