Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to know occurrence, incidence, and various histopathological variants of eyelid tumors.It is incidence with respect to age and to analyse the distribution of tumors in various age group at new civil Hospital, Asarwa,Ahmedabad.Materials and Methods: A total of 100 cases of eyelid tumors were analyzed retrospectively in a period from May 2008to November 2010. Cases were studied in detail about general information of the patient including age and sex and grossexamination and histological features.Result: Of 100 tumors, 56 (56%) were benign and 44 (44%) were malignant. Of 56 benign lesions, 41 were in pediatric agegroup (<18 years) and 15 were in adult patients (>18 years). The common benign lesion seen was nevi (21%) followed bysquamous papilloma (12%). The common malignant lesion seen was meibomian gland carcinoma (22%) followed by basal cellcarcinoma (12%). Distribution of tumor based on origin on descending order was epithelial origin (33%), adnexal origin (23%),melanocytic origin (22%), and mesenchymal origin (22%).Conclusion: As eyelid skin is the thinnest and most sensitive skin in our body, it is often the first area in body to show changesoccur from sun damage and aging. Skin cancer of the eyelids is relatively common and of several types. Overall, the incidenceof benign tumors (56%) was more than malignant tumors (44%) in the present study. Benign tumors were more common inadolescent and young adults. Mean age of benign tumors was 33.83 years. Malignant tumors were more common in elderly. Meanage of malignant tumors was 61.40 years.
