Abstract
A systematic search for eyelid angiosarcoma was performed from inception to December 2020 in Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane databases. Forty two eyelid angiosarcoma cases in 32 articles were analyzed. Eyelid angiosarcomas showed an incidence peak in the eighth decade of life, and was reported more frequently in Caucasian males. Eyelid angiosarcomas were associated with a mortality rate of 26.2%, a recurrence rate of 14.3%, and a cure rate of 45.2%. Four years event-free survival (EFS) rate was 36.0%, with median EFS of 36 months. Eyelid angiosarcomas with bilateral involvement or metastasis showed higher mortality and recurrence rates than unilateral eyelid invasion cases. In the prognosis analysis according to treatment modalities, the mortality and recurrence rates were the lowest in patients who underwent surgical excision. The 4-year EFS probability in a group with surgical excision was 60.6%, but in a group without surgical excision it was 30.3%. A total of 45.2% of the cases was misdiagnosed and 21.4% of the cases could not be correctly diagnosed with the first biopsy trial. The prognosis for eyelid angiosarcomas was better than that of angiosarcomas invading the face and scalp. Surgical excision was the most important treatment modality; thus, should be considered as the first treatment of choice.
