The immunohistochemistry would support the suggested diagnosis of EMPSGC.

Yes, well done, this is Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma. In addition to the cytological clues which Vincenzo points out, the impression of dyscohesion / 'falling apart' is helpful, as well as the characteristic location on the eyelid. As in this case, mucin and glands can be hard to identify.

This is referred to as a carcinoma, with a possibility of local recurrence, but there have been no instances of metastasis reported as far as I know.
