Sebaceous Carcinoma of Eyelid: A Report of Two Cases with Review of Literature
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is rare. The diagnosis might be difficult because of its ability to masquerade as other periocular lesions. Prognosis is still regarded as being poor compared with most other malignant eyelid tumors with a mortality second only to malignant melanoma. The present reported cases analyses clinical and histopathological findings. Case Reports: Two case reports were presented here. One presented as primary complaint of progressive painless mass in left lower eyelid in a 75 year female and another case in young 30 year old with history of recurrence, operated previously for the same complaint with unavailable previous report. Both cases on histopathology reported as sebaceous gland carcinoma. Conclusion : Early diagnosis and consequent surgical therapy of sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid leads to a better outcome and higher survival rates than generally assumed. Even local recurrences can be treated successfully. However, sebaceous carcinoma remains a threatening disease, which leads to death in 9% and to mutilating exenteration in 23% published in an English literature.
