Abstract

Aim: To analyze demography, clinical profile & histopathology of eyelid tumours treated in tertiary care Eye hospital in Central India. Study Design: Observational Study. Methodology: Retrospective analysis of 82 cases of lid tumour presented at tertiary Eye hospital from April 11 to 14. Cases analyzed for demography, location, marginal involvement, delay in presentation and histopathology. Results: There were 82 cases of lid tumour, 57 were benign and 25 malignant. Mean age of all cases 48.17 years; for benign 43.98 years & for malignant 57.72 years (p = 0.0023). Male: Female ratio for benign 3.4:1 & for malignant 2.1:1. Commonest location of benign tumour upper lid lateral half (31.58%). Mean delay in presentation for benign tumour 44.32 months (1–240 months) & malignancy 9.96 months (5–18 months) (p = 0.0125). Lid Margin involvement was in 18 (31.58%) in benign & in 24 (96%) in malignancy (p < 0.0001). 48% of malignant tumours were sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC). Conclusion: Long standing ( > 1 year) mass on upper lid laterally, probably is benign. Surgeon treating malignant tumour (Central India) should have high index of suspicion for SGC.
