- Abstract
Purpose: To describe the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of eyelid tumors in children in southern Taiwan. Methods: Patients younger than 17 years old with histologically confirmed eyelid tumors treated at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Kaohsiung) during 19912000 were subjected to a retrospective analysis. Patients with inflammation, granulation, hordeolum, chalazion and orbital or conjunctival extension were excluded. Results: Totally, 78 patients (46 boys and 31 girls) with eyelid tumors were included. The 4 most common tumors, in order of frequency, were epidermal cysts (23.1%), dermoid cysts (17.9%), squamous cell papillomas (11.5%), and compound nevi (9%). Recurrence was noted in only 1 case (of a ductal cyst) after surgical excision during the 3-year follow-up period. Conclusions: Epithelial tumors and dermoid cysts are the most common eyelid tumors of children in southern Taiwan. Surgical excision produced good results. Malignant eyelid tumors are rare in children.Copyright © 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel
