Oncocytoma of the eyelid - An aggressive benign tumor

Objective: The authors report the case of an 83-year-old patient with a benign oncocytoma of the inferior eyelid. Design: Interventional case report. Intervention: Treatment consisted of a large orbital exenteration followed by reconstruction with a pedicled temporalis muscle flap. Main Outcome Measures: Histologic evaluation and clinical follow-up were measured. Results: After a year of follow-up, there was no sign of local recurrence. Conclusions: Oncocytomas, even if benign, must be considered as very aggressive tumors and treated accordingly.
