Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical, histopathological, and demographic features of eyelid tumors.

Methods: The medical records of patients who have been operated for eyelid tumor excision at ophthalmology clinic of our hospital between 2006 and 2021 were evaluated retrospectively.

Results:253 patients with the histopathological diagnosis were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 50.521.2, of whom 143 (56.5%) were female and 110 (43.5%) were male. Tumor localization was on the upper eyelid in 110 (43.5%) patients, on the lower eyelid in 139 (54.9%) patients and on both the lower and upper eyelids in 4 (1.6%) patients. Of the eyelid tumors, 139 (54.9%) were epidermal, 28 (11.1%) was adnexal and 46 (18.2%) were stromal of the epidermal tumors, 97 (69.8%) were non-melanotic and 42 (30.2%) were melanotic. Benign eyelid tumors were observed in 188 (74.3%) cases with a mean age of 45.621.2 years. The most common benign eyelid tumor was intradermal nevus in 32 (12.6%) patients, followed by verruca vulgaris in 21 (8.3%) patients and seborrheic keratosis in 15 (5.9%) patients. Malign eyelid tumors were observed in 65 (25.7%) cases with a mean age of 64.613.8 years. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was observed in 53 (20.9%) patients and squamous cell carcinoma in 5 (2%) patients. Eyelid reconstruction was performed in 18 (34%) patients in BCCs and at least one surgical margin was positive in 28 (52.8%) patients at the primary excision. Six (11.3%) patients diagnosed with BCC had a recurrence and 4 (7.5%) patients had a diagnosis of BCC in a different anatomical localization.

Conclusion: The most common eyelid tumor was BCC in our study population. Eyelid tumors were mostly benign with intradermal nevus being the most common benign eyelid tumor. Benign tumors were frequently observed in the young-middle aged group whereas malignant tumors were observed more frequently in the middle-advanced age group.
