Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Eyelid tumors are the most common neoplasms encountered in clinical ophthalmic practice. Eyelid malignancies are completely treatable if diagnosed early. A retrospective analysis of sixty cases of eyelid malignancies out of a total of 225 eye lid tumors diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital, Hyderabad was done over a period of three years. The clinical data was retrieved from the case sheets. Hematoxylin and eosin stained slides of the cases were retrieved and studied. Malignancies more commonly occurred in elderly patients. Females were more commonly affected constituting 61% of the cases. The left eye was more often involved in 36 patients (60%). The upper lid being more frequently involved (55%). Sebaceous gland carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor (63.3% cases) followed by basal cell carcinoma (23.3%) and squamous cell carcinoma (6.6%). The wide geographic variation in the incidence of eyelid malignancies world-wide and within India is discussed. The incidence of malignant eye lid neoplasms and the histopathologicalspecrtrum are analysed in this study and correlated with clinical data.
