Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Lesions from cutaneous portion of eyelid account for the considerable number of ocular specimens sent to the histopathology laboratory for evaluation Wide spectrum of lesions ranging from nonneoplastic to neoplastic lesions can arise from different tissues of eyelidAim The aim of our study was to categorise the Neoplastic lesions evaluate the prevalence of tumors and to compare with epidemiological dataMaterials and Methods Retrospective analysis of 774 consecutive cases of Eyelid tumors over a period of 5 years was carried out in tertiary health care system through histopathological confirmationResults A total of 774 eyelid tumors consisted of 718 Benign lesions 9276 and 56 Malignant lesions 724 Benign tumors were common in the fifth decade with female predominance affecting upper eyelid Maximum number of Benign tumors were 3184428 cases of Cystic lesions followed by 135188 Melanocytic lesions and 1261754 cases of Epithelial proliferations Malignant tumors were predominant in seventh decade with female preponderance and preference for lower eyelid Sebaceous gland carcinoma 244285 was the commonest malignant tumor followed by 183214 Basal cell carcinoma 58 92 Squamous cell carcinomas and 4714 cases of Malignant melanomas An interesting case of Squamous cell carcinoma arising from Pilomatricoma was also seen Rare tumors noted were 3 cases of Keratoacanthoma and one each case of Merkel cell carcinoma and Non Hodgkins lymphomaConclusion Benign tumors comprise majority of eyelid tumors A high index of suspicion for malignant lesion will enable the patients for early diagnosis and management with the better prognosis of these tumorsKeywords Basal cell carcinoma Malignant melanoma Pilomatricoma Sebaceous gland carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma
