The purpose of the study is to describe the clinical features, diagnostic work-up, treatment, and outcomes of endocrine mucinous gland carcinoma of the eyelid, emphasising the importance of early recognition and surgical management. It was retrospective study of 3 cases diagnosed with endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma of the eyelid. Clinical data were collected from records, including history, examination findings, imaging, surgical details, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and follow-up. All patients underwent wide local excision with metastatic workup and were followed up for 6 months postoperatively. This rare low-grade eyelid tumour may present as a firm, non-tender, lobulated mass and mimicking benign lesions. Early diagnosis is crucial. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment.This carcinoma, though rare, should be considered in eyelid lesions. Wide local excision offers a good prognosis if diagnosed and treated early. Endocrine mucinous gland carcinoma may mimic benign eyelid lesions.
