Abstract
- Adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland is relatively uncommon. In recent years, the authors have experienced a case of histologically proven meibomian gland adenocarcinoma. This was a 80-year-old female who had a regrowing large mass in the right upper eyelid. She was treated with surgical excision but rejected radiation therapy. A biopsy was performed and the histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland.
