Dr. Manjula Choudhury, Dr. Shima Shrestha

Abstract


Purpose  :  To  analyze  the  data  regarding  the  demography  ,   relative  frequency  and  histopathological  profile  of  eyelid  malignancies  in  a  tertiary  care  centre  in  North  Eastern  India.

Study  design  :  Observational  study  conducted  for  a  period  of  1  year  from  April  2018  to  March  2019  in  the  Department  of  Pathology  ,  GMCH.

Subjects  and  methods  :  Patients  with  definite  eyelid  masses  /  suspicious  tumours  involving  the  eyelid  and  excised  tissue  masses  sent  for  histopathological  examination  were  selected  for  the  study.

Results  :  A  total  of  60  cases  were  evaluated  ,  of  which  15  cases  (25%)  were  malignant  eyelid  tumours. The  most  frequent  malignant  tumours  included  Basal  cell  carcinoma  and  Sebaceous gland carcinoma. Single case each of squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma  were  also  included. The  most  common  age  group  for  malignant  tumours  was  61   –   70  years  with  the  mean  age  at  presentation  being  60.5  years.

Conclusion  :  Basal  cell  carcinoma  was  the  most  common  malignant  tumour  in  this  part  of  the  country  although  ,  the  incidence  of  Sebaceous  carcinoma  is  also  quite  high  in  this  region  ,  only  next  to  basal  cell  carcinoma.
