A 58-years-male had painless, progressive mass below the left temporal eyebrow from 8 years. It was reddish-blue, pea-sized (10 mm × 10 mm), sessile with few intervening cilia [Figure 1]a. It was non-tender and free from the underlying bone. There was no ulceration or regional lymphadenopathy. The rest of the ophthalmic examination was unremarkable. We kept a working diagnosis of acquired capillary hemangioma and performed an excision biopsy. Histopathology [Figure 1]b, [Figure 1]c, [Figure 1]d showed a well-circumscribed epidermis tumor arranged in interconnecting trabeculae forming sheets. The cuboidal to polygonal cells showed intracytoplasmic melanin, ductal differentiation, and the desmoplastic reaction confirming an eccrine poroma. | Figure 1: (a) A reddish-blue lesion with surface excoriation having interspersed cilia.(b) (H&E, ×100) The epidermis shows acanthosis and broad an astomosing bands of epithelial cells extending into underlying subepithelium.(c and d) (H&E, ×200) Sharply defined nests composed of epithelial cells with the uniform cuboidal appearance and deeply basophilic round nuclei
