Journal Title: Istanbul Medical Journal - Year 2020, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate patients who presented with eyelid tumour and to evaluate the masses pathologically. Methods: Between March 1, 2016- April 1, 2019, 2019, age, gender, eyelid side, pathological evaluation results and surgical margin status of the patients who presented to our clinic with eyelid mass were evaluated. Results: During the study period, 212 patients with a mean age of 55±16 years (range, 15-85 years) who underwent surgery because of an eyelid mass were included in the study. Among these patients, 78 (37.8%), 74 (35.9%) and 54 (26.2%) underwent surgery of the right, left and both eyelids, respectively, whereas 55 (26.9%), 128 (62.7%) and 21 (10.2%) underwent surgery of the lower, upper and both lower and upper eyelids, respectively. A total of 376 eyelid mass surgeries were performed. Among these masses, 371 (98.6%) were benign and 5 (1.3%) were malignant. Regarding pathological types of benign masses, 71 (19.1%) were seborrheic keratosis, 70 (18.8%) were squamous papilloma, 53 (14.21%) were fibroepithelial polyps, 52 (14.2%) were xanthelasma, 35 (9%) were intradermal nevus, 22 (5.9%) were epidermoid cyst, 14 (3.8%) were verruca vulgaris and 51 (13.7%) were different types of tumours. Five patients were diagnosed with malignant eyelid tumours; three of them had basal cell carcinoma, one had squamous cell carcinoma and one had malignant melanoma. Conclusion: Although eyelid tumours are mostly benign tumours, malignant tumours may be present in some cases. Pathological evaluation of valve masses obtained surgically is important to determine the prognosis of patients.
