Abstract
Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC), first described in 1997, is a low-grade sweat gland tumor characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation; solid, cystic, and papillary architecture; and tendency to occur on the eyelid. It is considered histologically analogous to endocrine ductal carcinoma/solid papillary carcinoma of the breast. Only 20 cases have been reported so far.
