Eccrine adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal sac region is described in a 48-year-old man. The case was first diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma and removed by dacryocystectomy, but unfortunately the neoplasm recurred after a period of 1 year. Examinations with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and several antibodies indicate that this is a hitherto undescribed eccrine adenocarcinoma, and finally the case was managed by orbital exenteration. This is the first case of eccrine adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal sac region to be documented in the world literature.
