Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) is a rare adnexal tumor of the skin with immunoexpression and neuroendocrine differentiation. It can be easily misdiagnosed as a meibomian gland tumor due to its prevalence in the Indian subcontinent over EMPSGC. It has a predilection for the skin of the eyelid and elderly females. It is histologically and immunohistochemically analogous to solid papillary carcinoma of the breast/endocrine ductal carcinoma in situ with a nodular, solid, papillary, and/or cribriform architecture, neuroendocrine differentiation, and mucin production. We describe a case of EMPSGC clinically mimicking meibomian gland carcinoma which was confirmed on immunohistochemistry and histopathological diagnosis.
