Abstract

Background and Objectives: Eyelids protects the eyes from external factors and provide tear film layer on the cornea and conjunctiva. Any defect and malformation on eyelids have complicated effects on the cornea. Eyelid tumors and delay in diagnosis and management causes severe corneal complications. Thus, we studied the eyelid tumors in this area and the ways to manage them. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in 100 cases with eyelids malignant tumors in Nikoukari Eye Hospital from year 1988 to 1995. All malignancies were confirmed by surgery and pathologic examination. Results: The commonest malignant tumor was BASAL CELL CARCINOMA (B.C.C) (84%). SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA (S. C.C) was observed in 14% whereas malignant melanoma occurred in 2% of cases. Prevalence of malignancy in males as compared to females was nearly equal in B.C.C (1: 1.15), but this ratio was 1:1.8 in S.C.C. Peak incidence of B. C. C. and S. C. C was seen in 60-70 years age group. Bilateral involvement of malignancy was seen in 3 cases and positive familial history in one case. Most of our cases had a long time exposure to the sunlight during their working period. Lower lid was the commonest location of B.C.C involvement but upper lid for S.C.C. Metastasis was not seen in any case, while regional extension was seen in all cases. Recurrence after 5 years was seen in 7 out of 84 cases (8.33%) of B.C.C and 1 case (7.14%) of S.C.C. All patients underwent excisional biopsy and suitable plastic surgery was performed depending on the defect and extension of tumor. Reoperation was performed on all recurrent cases. Conclusion: The commonest lid tumors in Azarbaijan and Kordistan are B.C.C. It is suggested that all farmers who are exposed to direct sunlight should be educated to prevent themselves from direct exposure of sunlight. Secondly it is necessary that any person who develops defect in any lid should positively consult the doctor concerned.
