description We report here the case of a man presenting with mucinous eccrine carcinoma (MEC) involving eyelid.

The aim of our paper is to underline the importance of distinguishing MEC from metastatic carcinomas of the skin, making clinicians aware that what seems to be a harmless benign lesion may be a malignant one.
