- Abstract
Aims: Benign eyelid lesions represent the majority of biopsied cases in many ophthalmology practices. The aim of this study was to review the epidemiology and clinical and histopathologic features of benign and premalignant eyelid tumours diagnosed at a large ocular pathology centre over a ten-year period (2008 to 2017). Methods: A total of 5222 specimen were received during the ten-year period. Among them, 3004 were eyelid lesions (1494 benign and premalignant, 1102 inflammatory, and 408 malignant). Of the 1494 benign lesions, complete clinical information was obtained for 1185 patients and as such, these cases were included in the present analysis. Results: The most common lesions were squamous cell papilloma, nevus, seborrheic keratosis and actinic keratosis. The average at time of biopsy was 61.0 years (range, 15-97 years). Nevus and xanthelasma occurred in significantly younger patients than average, while actinic keratosis and seborrheic keratosis occurred in older patients. Among the 1185 lesions, 522 lesions presented on the lower eyelid, 553 lesions on the upper eyelid, and 110 lesions were at the canthus. Overall, there was no difference in laterality, with 539 lesions occurring on the left side and 536 lesions on the right side. A total of 677 were diagnosed in women, and 508 in men. A female predominance was found for certain lesion types, such as nevus. Conclusions: Benign and premalignant eyelid lesions represent an important source of referrals to ophthalmology and should be appropriately diagnosed to determine treatment and follow-up. Premalignant tumours should be followed closely for any sign of malignant transformation.
