“…Recent studies by Indian researchers have revealed SGC as the most common malignant eyelid lesion. [ 22 23 24 ] This was in agreement with several studies particularly from Asian countries like Thailand and Nepal. [ 11 17 ] On the contrary, few other studies from other Asian countries like Japan, China, Hongkong, and Taiwan found BCC as the major malignant lesion in their respective nations.…”

Purpose: To study the epidemiological pattern and diagnostic accuracy of histopathologically proven eyelid lesions over a period of two decades. Methods: A retrospective study of all histopathologically proven eyelid lesions from April 1996 to March 2016 was conducted. The lesions were broadly categorized as benign or malignant. Inflammatory and infectious lesions were included under the benign category. The percentage and diagnostic accuracy of each lesion was calculated. Results: There were a total of 994 (M = 551, F = 443) cases. The mean age of the patients was 43.5 ± 19.9 years. There were 809 (81.4%) benign and 185 (18.6%) malignant lesions. Benign lesions were commonly seen in the fourth decade, while the malignant ones in the late fifth decade. The upper lid was the most common site in both groups ( n = 481, 48.4%). The commonest benign lesion was chalazion ( n = 484, 59.8%). Dermal nevus ( n = 94, 11.6%) was the most common benign neoplasm, while Molluscum contagiosum ( n = 25, 3.09%) was the most common infectious lesion. Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) ( n = 103, 55.7%) was the leading malignant lesion followed by basal cell carcinoma ( n = 39, 21.1%). Eleven malignant cases were misdiagnosed as benign (5.9%). Chalazion (99.1%) and SGC (65%) had the highest diagnostic accuracy, while Molluscum (40%) and squamous cell carcinoma (40%) were the most misdiagnosed lesions in the respective groups. Conclusion: Benign eyelid lesions are far more common than malignant ones. Atypical and rare presentations may lead to misdiagnosis. Knowledge of epidemiological patterns and clinical features can help in achieving higher diagnostic accuracy.

“…A recent editorial on ocular oncology elaborates on the pitfalls of drawing conclusions for eyelid malignancy for the entire country from retrospective data of a single referral center. [ 12 ] Our study aims to address the need for a data set, which is more truly representative of the country.…”
