Abstract
A chalazion is chronic lipogranulomatous inflammatory lesion caused by blockage of meibomian gland orifices &
stagnation of sebaceous secretion. Common practices in treatment of chalazion are intralesional steroid injection,
incision & curettage and excision of chalazion. Recurrence rate is high for incision & curettage in case of large
chalazion. The aim of the study is to established that excision large chalazion give better result than incision &
curettage. The study was carried out at Diabetic Association Medical College & Hospital, Faridpur and General
Hospital, Fadidpur. A total 100 cases were selected for study. Technique of operation were incision & curettage
through conjunctival surface and excision of chalazion through skin surface. In 50 % cases we performed incision &
curettage both in small (size <5mm) and large (size >5mm) chalazion. In 50 % cases of large chalazion we performed
excision of chalazion. The follow up period was 3 months to 6 months. In group -A with incision & curettage through
conjunctival surface, in case of small chalazion 27 out of 30 patients were cured (90%). In case of large chalazion 14
out of 20 patients were cured (70%). In group B with excision of chalazion through skin surface, in case of large
chalazion 49 out of 50 patients were cured (98%). So higher success rate after excision of large chalazion through
skin surface.
