“…From 111 patients, 75 of them were women (67.7%), while men were 36 people (36.4%). This result is consistent with the research conducted by Mohan and Letha (2017) in Kerala, South India, and Hui et al, (2017) in Bandung, Indonesia, where the majority of patients are women [5], [7]. However, other countries have different results, such as in Bali, Indonesia, there are more men than women 59.1%: 40.2% and in the city of Ahmadabad, India, men are 57.82% while women are 42.18% [3], [8].…”

There is no known cause of a higher incidence of eyelid tumors in women, but some researchers suspect an increased incidence of eyelid tumors in women due to the use of excessive sun cream on the eyelid area and long-term use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy [7], [9]. The p value obtained is 0.15 (p > 0.05) which means there is no correlation between the occurrence of eyelid tumors and gender.…”

“…Women in developing countries which are dominated by the Asian and Hispanic races are also suspected of using sunscreen more often than women in developed countries, which are dominated by the Caucasian race, which leads to BCC. 7 Our study shows that the eyelid BCC was commonly seen in 51-60 years old and 71-80 years old, every 5 patients, respectively. This was consistent with other studies.…”
