| Abstract
|
:
|
Primary cutaneous signet-ring cell carcinoma (PCSRCC) is a rare but aggressive tumor. Our case highlights a 60-year-old man who presented with eyelid ptosis, for which he underwent multiple surgical procedures over a 3-year period prior to referral to our clinic. These procedures were complicated by scarring, delayed healing, and poor cosmetic outcome. In addition, the patient was noted to develop progressive enophthalmos. These concerning signs led to a CT scan and subsequent eyelid biopsy, which revealed a diagnosis of PCSRCC. Further management has involved an MRI and orbitotomy with biopsy revealing widespread extension of the carcinoma. Exenteration was performed to reduce the likelihood of metastasis.
