RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF MALIGNANT EYELID TUMOURS IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE– 10 YEARS SURVEY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
BACKGROUND Eyelid tumours are by far the most common neoplasms encountered in ophthalmic clinical practice and are estimated to represent more than 90% of all ophthalmic tumours. The aim of the study is to evaluate and characterise the proportion of malignant eyelid tumours, compare the clinical diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis in all possible cases at a tertiary care centre over a 10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective, clinical review. Between June 2006 and June 2016 all malignant eyelid tumours were evaluated in the Department of Ophthalmology, K. R. Hospital, MMC & RI, Mysore. Patients' charts were reviewed for clinical information, treatment procedure, and pathological findings. Malignant tumours were stratified using age, sex, location of tumour and histopathological typing. RESULTS A total of 36 malignant tumours of the eyelid treated and histopathologically confirmed at our tertiary care centre were analysed. The peak incidence in this series was in patients 50-70 years of age. The mean age of patients with malignant tumours was above 61.5 (63 median age). Almost equal sex involvement noted, 19 men (52.77%) and 17 women (47.22%). But male preponderance was noted in SCC (88.89%) and SGC was noted to be predominant in females (69.23%). Most common site for malignancy was lower lid (61.11%). Most frequent malignant tumours noted was Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) (36.11%) followed by Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (25%), Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (22.22%), Malignant melanoma (MM) (8.33%), Malignant Lymphoma (5.56%) and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) (2.78%). CONCLUSION SGC is the most common malignant lesion in our series. We stress the importance of examining specimens for histopathology, to ensure a rapid diagnosis and pertinent treatment.
