Eyelid Hidrocystomas - A Histological Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Hidrocystomas are uncommon benign eyelid cysts. They arise from the eccrine and apocrine sweat glands in the eyelids. This retrospective study of five years is undertaken to know the incidence and histopathological features of hidrocystoma. Data from the clinical and histopathology records were retrieved and the slides reviewed. There were a total of 20 cases diagnosed ashidrocystoma out of a total of 450eyelid lesions, showing an incidence of 4.4%.The ages of the patients ranged from 22 years to 65 years. Males were predominantly involved (60%).Most of our patients presented with a solitary lesion. 80% of the lesions affected the lower lid. Histologically, they may be eccrine or apocrine type. Eccrinetype occurred predominantly (70%). The location of the lesion and the histopathological features help to differentiate hidrocystoma from other eyelid cysts such as epithelial inclusion cyst and cystic basal cell carcinoma. Complete surgical excision of the cyst wall is done to prevent recurrence. Keywords: Uncommon; benign cyst; eye lid; cyst of moll; hidrocystoma
