Abstract
INTRODUCTION The eyelids are a common site for skin tumours and account for 5-10% of all skin tumours. Treatment is mainly surgical and aims to preserve the anatomical structure of the eyelid, its function and not least its aesthetic appearance. AIM Presentation of recurrence and complication rates of tumour-related eyelid surgery in a cohort of 450 tumours. RESULTS Analysis of a cohort of 450 tumours operated on revealed 13 (2.8%) operations with recurrences and 32 (7%) with complications. The statistical significance of recurrences was observed for the involved and uninvolved ciliary margin. At the temporal canthus, 23.1% of recurrences occurred compared to 7.7% at the medial canthus. SGC has the highest recurrence rate. Complications include the following: ectropion, dehiscence, gross cicatrix with normal function, retraction, post-radiation damage, sub-graft haemorrhage and graft rejection. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence rate of eyelid tumours is lower than that of complications. The choice of surgical technique determines the frequency of complications and histological control of the excised tissue, as well as the frequency of recurrences.

Abstract
Eyelid squamous cell carcinoma is a major type of rare eyelid cancer, together with basal cell carcinoma and sebaceous gland carcinoma. It is a painless disease that progresses slowly and is often detected by the appearance of nodules or plaques. Risk factors include exposure to ultraviolet light, fair skin, radiation and human papillomavirus infection. The standard treatment is surgical removal, and in cases of orbital invasion, orbital content removal is required. If sentinel node biopsy reveals a high risk of lymph node metastasis, adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered. Local chemotherapy, such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil, may be used for eyelid squamous cell carcinoma in situ. When surgery or radiotherapy is not recommended for distant metastases or locally advanced disease, drug therapy is often according to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in Japan. The treatment often requires a multidisciplinary team to ensure the preservation of function and cosmetic appearance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eyelids are a small anatomical structure, yet they contain several histological layers from which benign and malignant tumors can originate. Compared to other parts of the face, the eyelids are often the first place where neoplasms or disease changes are noticed. AIM To analyze localization and its predictive malignancy of eyelid tumors over a 10-year period. METHOD A retrospective study of 436 (450 eyes) patients operated on over a 10-year period. Descriptive, dispersion and correlation analyzes were performed. RESULTS The results provide a clear assessment of the distribution and incidence of eyelid tumors according to the localization of the defect, involvement of the lash line, inflammatory response, etc. Tumor distribution is significantly skewed in favor of the medial canthus, 80% to 20% by all tumors. The involvement of the lid margin occurs in 83% of malignant tumors and has significant predictive value. CONCLUSION The lower eyelid and the medial canthus are preferred locations for malignant tumors, and the upper eyelid for benign ones. Our study does not affect the types of surgical techniques; its purpose is to show the expected malignancy of the different combinations by location. The location of the tumor is a leading factor in the choice of the oculoplastic reconstructive procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence, proportion and location of periocular tumours in an English county over a five year period, and compare to other studies in the UK and worldwide. SUBJECTS/METHODS A retrospective review of histopathology reports was performed for all periocular excision biopsies of malignancies from the county's three main hospitals over a 5-year period. These hospitals cover a population of just over one million. Tumours were classified according to type and location. RESULTS 1220 lesions were included in this study. Right-sided lesions were more common than left. The incidence of basal cell carcinoma was 22 per 100,000 and squamous cell carcinoma 1.3 per 100,000, which were found most commonly on the lower eyelid and eyebrow respectively. The incidences of all other types of lesions were less than 0.5 per 100,000 per year. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of periocular basal cell carcinomas in the predominantly elderly Caucasian population was at least three times the published national average. The high incidence of periocular tumours in this North East Anglian county is set to increase further as the proportion of over 65 year olds in the population is predicted to nearly double within two decades.

Abstract
PURPOSE We intended to review the clinical features and histological findings of eyelid lesions in Sri Lanka. METHODS We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study to analyse clinicopathological characteristics of eyelid lesions from 2013 to 2017 in the National Eye Hospital of Sri Lanka. RESULTS The age of patients ranged from 3 months to 83 years (mean = 46 ± 21 years). The male-to-female ratio in the sample was 1:1.3. Among 654 histologically confirmed eyelid lesions, the majority (n = 407/654, 62%) were neoplastic lesions including 322 benign, 11 premalignant and 74 malignant neoplasms. The commonest benign tumour was seborrheic keratosis (n = 98), and the commonest non-neoplastic lesion was pyogenic granuloma (n = 64). Seventy-four patients had malignant neoplasia including 24 sebaceous carcinoma, 18 basal cell carcinoma, and 14 squamous cell carcinoma. The most common site of malignant lesions was the upper eyelid. The mean age of patients with malignant eyelid lesions was 64 ± 13 years. CONCLUSIONS Neoplastic lesions outnumbered nonneoplastic lesions, while benign neoplasia was more common than malignant neoplasia. In contrast to the western reports, the commonest malignant neoplasm was sebaceous carcinoma.

Abstract
Purpose: to assess the prevalence of primary malignant eyelid tumors and their prognostic features based on the materials of the ocular oncology department, Moscow Ophthalmological Center. Materials and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of 10-year array (2010–2019) of documents of the Moscow Cancer Register, reports of the ocular oncology department of the Moscow ophthalmological center, S.P. Botkin State Clinical Hospital, and case histories of outpatients with malignant eyelid tumors, residing in Moscow. Results. Malignant ocular tumors were diagnosed in 3650 people. Of these, 75.29 % were eyelid tumors (2748 people). The most common malignant tumor was basal cell carcinoma (89.19 %), which was morphologically diagnosed and over the ten years showed an incidence increase of almost a third. The occurrence rate grows with age, with the peak observed between 70 and 79 years of life. Most often, the lower eyelid (64%) and the inner corner (22.14 %) are affected. Less common are tumors located in the upper eyelid (12.21 %) and at the lateral canthus — 2.3 %. Over 80 % of the relapses occurred at the T2–T3 stages, while only 18.2 % were eyelid skin cancers treated at the T1 stage. Tumors located in the inner corner of the palpebral fissure recurred up to 3 times more often than differently localized eyelid tumors. Conclusion. Malignant eyelid tumors are the most common of malignant ocular neoplasms, claiming ¾ of them. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type. The peak incidence falls upon the 7th and the 8th decades of life. An increase in the incidence of malignant tumors of the eyelids is observed. The special ophthalmic-oncological service facilitates the diagnostics, treatment and dispensary observation of patients after treatment, which contributes to the early detection of relapses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although eyelid melanomas represent less than 1% of eyelid neoplasms, they have the worst prognosis. Wide local excision (WLE) and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) are mainstay treatment options. We conducted a retrospective analysis to assess all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates in patients undergoing WLE or MMS for eyelid melanoma. METHODS A retrospective analysis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry was performed for eyelid melanoma treated with WLE or MMS. Cases were limited to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage T1 primary malignancies. RESULTS A total of 45 cases of WLE were identified along with 48 cases of MMS for eyelid melanoma. There was no significant difference between subgroups in age group, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status at diagnosis, AJCC N stage, AJCC M stage, melanoma histology, chemotherapy use, and radiotherapy use. Among the cohort, all tumors were unilateral. Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank demonstrated no significant difference between MMS and WLE subgroups with regard to overall survival (P = 0.662) and cancer-specific survival (P = 0.494). Cox regression adjusting for variables with α<0.10 and found no significant difference in all-cause mortality (HR, 0.923; 95% CI 0.310-2.747; P = 0.885) or cancer-specific mortality (HR, 0.518; 95% CI 0.047-5.711; P = 0.591) when patients who underwent MMS were compared to those who underwent WLE. CONCLUSION While our study is limited by a small number of patients, our analysis demonstrated no significant difference in all-cause or cause-specific survival for patients with eyelid melanoma treated with MMS compared with WLE. In areas requiring preservation of tissue due to cosmetic or functional purposes, MMS is a reasonable surgical approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify the incidence and demographic characteristics of malignant eyelid tumors diagnosed in a single institute in Japan. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series METHODS: Patients with malignant eyelid tumors diagnosed histopathologically at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between 1995 and 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. The incidence and demographic profile of malignant eyelid tumors were analyzed. The number of benign eyelid tumors diagnosed histopathologically during the same period was also counted. RESULTS A total of 412 patients with histopathologically proven malignant eyelid tumors were included. The most common malignant eyelid tumor was sebaceous carcinoma (n = 180, 44%), followed by basal cell carcinoma (n = 148, 36%), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 35, 9%), lymphoma (n = 28, 7%), Merkel cell carcinoma (n = 11, 3%) and others (n = 10, 2%). Mean age of all patients with malignant eyelid tumor at the time of diagnosis was 71.0 ± 13.0 years. For sebaceous carcinoma, the proportion of female patients was significantly higher than that of male patients (P = 0.0283) and the proportion of involvement of upper eyelid was significantly higher than that of lower eyelid (P = 0.0001). On the other hand, there was no sex predominance in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The proportion of involvement of lower eyelid was significantly higher than of upper eyelid in basal cell carcinoma (P = 0.001) and squamous cell carcinoma (P = 0.0012). There were 1433 patients with benign eyelid tumors accounting for 78% of all eyelid tumors during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Sebaceous carcinoma is the major malignant eyelid tumor in Japan and is more frequent in women than in men. Epidemiology of malignant eyelid tumors may be affected by the trend of population age structure associated with the recent population aging.

Abstract
Background Eyelid tumours are common in our ophthalmic practice. Malignancy cases account only for one-fourth of all eyelid tumours. The most aggressive eyelid malignancy is sebaceous gland carcinoma, but its occurrences are rare in western countries. We found sebaceous gland carcinoma is as common as basal cell carcinoma in our clinical practices. Hence, it is essential to build awareness about the more aggressive eyelid malignancies to reduce morbidity and mortality. Aim To assess the relative frequency of eyelid malignancies in the Bangladesh population, state their clinical features and outcome of management strategies and build awareness about the more aggressive eyelid malignancies to reduce morbidity and mortality. Methods This was a retrospective case series study of 332 patients in Bangladesh. This study analyzed all the recorded data of the histologically proven primary eyelid malignancies and followed them up for at least six months from 2014 to 2019 (6 years). All patients were managed by surgical excision with tumor-free margins verified on histopathology, either the frozen section or excision biopsy with 2–3 mm microscopic view of normal tissue followed by eyelid reconstruction. Computer-based statistical software SPSS was used for the analysis, and an appropriate test of significance (chi-square) was used for the statistical analysis. Results Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) was the highest in occurrence, at 42%, followed by 38% basal cell carcinoma (BCC), 18% squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), and 02% malignant melanoma (MM). The mean age at presentation of SGC, BCC, SqCC, and MM were 57.41 years, 62.56 years, 64.73 years, and 59.28 years, respectively. Female (59%) was slightly more preponderance over the male (41%) for SGC than other malignancies. Pigmentation was associated with malignant melanoma (100%) and BCC (81%). Statistically, a significant difference was found between eyelid malignancies, including location, size, pigmentation, recurrence, and invasiveness. The recurrence rate was low lower in the patients who underwent frozen section biopsy (3%) for margin clearance than those who underwent excision biopsy (21.5%) in the follow-up time. Conjunctival map biopsy (8%) was performed as an essential tool for excluding the pagetoid spread of SGC. A new reconstruction method named triangular-shaped musculocutaneous tail flap was performed in 33 (11%) patients to reconstruct the moderate eyelid defect following local resection. Conclusion Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) was the highest occurrence found to be the highest occurrence among all eyelid malignancies in Bangladesh. SGC is more aggressive and the recurrence rate was higher than BCC and SqCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the characteristics and recurrence rates of primary periocular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in Spain. METHODS This retrospective study investigates the characteristics of primary periocular SCC at two tertiary centers in Spain from 2000 to 2020. Data were collected on demographics, skin phenotype, location, clinical and histological diagnosis, the commitment of surgical margins, recurrence, and risk factors. Multivariate analysis and risk factors were used to investigate recurrence rates, considering p < 0.05 as statistically significant. RESULTS Over the 20-year studied period, 107 patients with primary periocular SCC were assessed. The mean age of SCC was 76.8 ± 12.8 years, 55 (50.9%) were females, and 105 (98.1%) had Fitzpatrick skin phenotype type II or III. SCC lesions affected less than 1/3 of the eyelid (56/52.3% cases), mainly the lower lid (42/39.3% lesions). Sixty (56.1%) cases were SCC differentiated, 76 (71%) had clear margins. Clinical diagnosis of SCC corroborated with histological in 84 (78.5%) cases and orbital involvement occurred in 18 (16.8%) cases. Recurrence was observed in 13 (12.1%) cases, occurring more in large tumors and undifferentiated subtype (53.8%), with committed margins (69.2%) (p = 0.001), being the commitment of margins a significant predictor for recurrence, although thickness was an independent predictor. CONCLUSION Periocular SCC in Spain showed a similar pattern as in the world. The risk of recurrence is increased in undifferentiated and large periocular SCC, partially removed with committed margins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with eyelid tumours and tumour-like lesions in South China, investigate possible factors affecting tumour constitution. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING All patients diagnosed with eyelid tumours were included from a high-volume tertiary eye care centre from South China which caring for over 2000 patients per day. All biopsied specimens were reviewed by two senior pathologists and were classified according to the fourth edition of the WHO Classification of Skin Tumours. PARTICIPANT A total of 5146 cases of eyelid lesions were reviewed from 2000 to 2018, being classified by histogenesis and pathologic diagnosis, being compared with data from previous literature containing different races. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Age-specific and gender-specific incidence constitutions, time trends, tumour location, distribution in different age groups and relationship with Sociodmographic Index (SDI) were calculated. RESULTS Benign tumours accounted for 85.08% (4378) of all cases, among which, nevus was most common (33.07%). Eight of top 10 benign lesions had higher occurrence in upper eyelids. The R² value of linear regression in patient annual number of benign lesions were 0.946 (p<0.01) for male and 0.914 (p<0.01) for female. More than 33.60% (1471/4378) were made up by patients younger than 40 years. The number of patients undergoing removal of benign lesions decreased with age. Among the malignant lesions, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was most prevalent (48.70%), followed by sebaceous gland carcinoma (34.24%) and majority (81.8%) occurred in patients above 60 years. CONCLUSIONS Over the past 19 years, most eyelid tumours occurred at our centre were benign lesions. The number of patients presenting with benign lesions increased in both genders, especially among young females who were more likely to request surgeries. Among malignant lesions, BCC remains the most common type, appears a higher incidence in countries with higher SDI.

Abstract
Almost 10% of worldwide skin cancers are located at the eyelid level. In European countries, malign eyelid tumours are mostly represented by basal and squamous cell carcinomas, and usually affect elderly patients. In order to study the clinical features of eyelid tumours, and potential correlations between tumour parameters, we have enrolled a cohort of 98 subjects from a south-western region of Romania. Our study confirmed the majority of results from other European studies, as basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent malign form, being diagnosed for more than 85% of patients with declared prolonged sun exposure; tumours were mostly located on the superior eyelid, especially for males, and may present slow progression rates. We have identified significant correlations only between the tumour stage and symptoms' duration, and also between the tumour stage and smoking habit, for females.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the demographic features, location, and histopathologic results in primary eyelid tumors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with primary eyelid tumor diagnosed and treated between November 1997 and June 2016 on our service. RESULTS Nine hundred and eleven lesions from 874 patients were included in this study. Four hundred and forty-six (51.0%) of the patients were females and 428 (49.0%) were males. The mean age was 51.0y (range: 3mo-94y). The lesions were located in the upper eyelid (418 cases, 45.9%), lower eyelid (378 cases, 41.5%), medial canthus (89 cases, 9.8%), and lateral canthus (26 cases, 2.8%). Four hundred and seventy (51.6%) lesions were located on the right side and 441 (48.4%) on the left. Of the eyelid lesions, 666 (73.1%) were benign, 230 (25.2%) malignant, and 15 (1.6%) premalignant. When the eyelid tumors were classified according to their tissue or cell of origin, 527 (57.8%) of the lesions were found to be epidermal, 171 (18.8%) adnexal, 131 (14.4%) inflammatory and infectious, and 65 (7.1%) stromal. The most common benign lesions were squamous cell papilloma (139 lesions, 15.2%), intradermal nevus (97 lesions, 10.6%), epidermoid inclusion cysts (78 lesions, 8.6%), seborrheic keratosis (60 lesions, 6.6%), and inflammatory masses (59 lesions, 6.5%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor (191 lesions, 21.0%) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (16 lesions, 1.8%), sebaceous carcinoma (14 lesions, 1.5%), and malignant melanoma (5 lesions, 0.5%). CONCLUSION In this study, 73.1% of eyelid lesions are benign and the remaining 26.9% are premalignant and malignant. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common tumor among all histopathological diagnosis followed by squamous papilloma.

Characteristics and Recurrence of Primary Eyelid Basal Cell Carcinoma in Central Spain. J Curr Ophthalmol 2020; 32:183-188. [PMID: 32671303 PMCID: PMC7337017 DOI: 10.4103/joco.joco_28_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2019] [Revised: 02/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To define the incidence, characteristics, and management of eyelid basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Central Spain. Methods: This retrospective study investigates the characteristics and the outcome of eyelid BCC from 2000 to 2016 in a central region of Spain. Data were collected on demographics, skin phenotype, location of the eyelid lesion, clinical and histological diagnosis, surgery, commitment of surgical margins, and recurrence rate. Results: Primary eyelid BCC occurred in a mean of 20.6 lesions a year or 9.4/100,000 inhabitants/year. The mean age of BCC carriers was 69.4 ± 16.2 years, with no gender difference (P = 0.479), predominantly affecting Fitzpatrick II–III skin (81.3%) (P < 0.001). The most common location was the inner canthus (154/45.7%) (P < 0.001) and type nodular (215 cases/63.8%) (P < 0.001). The surgical margins were affected in 69 (20.5%) individuals, and the recurrence rate was 5.6 (95% confidence interval, 3.2–8.3) significantly higher in affected margins (P < 0.001). The most common location for recurrence was the inner canthus (P = 0.003), and the most common histological type for recurrence was sclerosing (16.7%), then multinodular (12.5%), and infiltrating (10.4%) with no significant difference (P = 0.27). Conclusions: The frequency of occurrence of eyelid BCC is much less than the estimated crude incidence for skin tumors involving all areas of the body in the Spanish population. Eyelid BCC is more common in the seventh decade of life, with no predilection for gender. Nodular histological type is the most common. The recurrence rate is 5.6%, depending on site and affected margins, even though clear free margins also can present with recurrence.

Abstract
Purpose To highlight the importance of histopathological evaluation of a lid mass to prognosticate the disease. We report a case of ulcerative squamous cell papilloma with clinical features suggesting malignancy. Case report A 65-year-old man presented with a rapidly enlarging mass in the left upper eyelid, with clinical features suggesting a squamous cell carcinoma. However, a repeat histopathological examination showed no malignant cells. The patient was diagnosed with squamous cell papilloma. He was followed-up for 30 months and no recurrence was observed. No such case has previously been reported in the literature. Conclusion This report highlights the need for histopathological examination of all eyelid lesions to enable surgeons to prognosticate the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE: Data on basal cell carcinoma (BCC) from the Middle East are deficient. We present the features and management outcomes for BCC over the last 36 years in Saudi Arabia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This retrospective chart review included BCC patients diagnosed and treated at Saudi Arabia between 1980 and 2016. Data were collected on patient demographics, clinical and histopathological characteristics of the lesions, management, and follow-up. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-six patients with BCC were included in this study. The incidence of BCC in Saudi Arabia is 0.8 cases a year. The median age of the patients was 71 years. BCC affected 58.9% of males. The lower lid was the most common site of occurrence (52.7%). Clinically, BCC was most commonly recognized as a mixed lesion (41.1%) and 50.4% were histologically nodular. Risk factors for poor prognosis included tumor localization in the medial aspect of the lid, tumor size > 5 mm, histological subtype being ulcerative or morphea forms, affected margins, and recurrent lesions. CONCLUSION: BCC is a rare condition in Saudi Arabia. The clinical features and histopathology of BCC in Saudi Arabia are similar to the patterns observed in other regions of the world. Early detection and timely management mitigates the extensive destructive ocular/orbital damage due to BCC and results in better patient outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose To study the proportion of eyelid malignant tumors in an Asian Indian population and to review their clinical features and outcomes. Methods This is a retrospective study of 536 patients. Results The mean age at presentation with eyelid malignancy was 58 years. Histopathology-proven diagnoses of these patients included sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) (n = 285, 53%), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (n = 128, 24%), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 99, 18%), and miscellaneous tumors (n = 24, 4%). The statistically significant differences between eyelid malignant tumors included age at presentation, tumor location, and tumor extent. The clinicopathological correlation of SGC, BCC, SCC, and miscellaneous tumors was 91, 86, 46, and 38% (p = 0.001), respectively. Comparing SGC with BCC, SCC, and miscellaneous tumors, SGC was more commonly associated with tumor recurrence (21 vs. 3, 8, and 13%; p = 0.001), systemic metastasis (13 vs. 0, 4, and 13%; p = 0.001), and death (9 vs. 0, 4, and 0%; p = 0.004). Compared to SGC, BCC, and SCC, locoregional lymph node metastasis was more common with miscellaneous tumors (26 vs. 16, < 1, and 8%; p = 0.001) over a mean follow-up period of 19 months. Conclusion In Asian Indians, SGC is twice as common as BCC and 3 times more common than SCC. SGC is associated with poorer prognosis compared to other eyelid malignant tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to explore the distribution of eyelid tumors in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, from a histopathological point of view. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of 1,502 patients who had eyelid surgery because of tumoral lesions were retrospectively reviewed after obtaining institutional review board approval. A total of 1,541 lesions with histopathologic diagnosis were included. Inflammatory tumoral lesions were excluded. The lesions were categorized into three groups according to the origin: epidermal, adnexal tumors and 'others', including melanocytic, neural and vascular lesions. RESULTS Of the total of 1,541, 908 lesions were epidermal in origin. Only 22 (1.5%) were malignant, and 6.0% was premalignant lesions such as actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease. Twenty-one of 22 malignant lesions were basal cell carcinoma. There was only one patient with squamous cell carcinoma and no sebaceous cell carcinoma. Among the benign tumors (92.5%), squamous papilloma was the most frequent (21.8% of all lesions). The other frequent lesions were nevus (17.6%), seborrheic keratosis (17.3%), hydrocystomas (10.6%), xanthelasma (7.6%) and epidermal cysts (7.2%). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study are in accordance with published literature. The absence of sebaceous cell carcinomas needs to be stressed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report a very rare eyelid mass confirmed to be a metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS A 68-year-old man had a two-month history of a large nodule in the right upper eyelid. He was a known case of lung adenocarcinoma since 2 years without a history of systemic metastasis. He underwent further investigations including orbital imaging and biopsy of the lesion. RESULTS Biopsy and immunohistochemical evaluations of the eyelid lesion revealed a moderate to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, a similar histology to the lung lesion. CONCLUSIONS Metastatic involvement of the eyelids is rarely seen; specifically, those associated with lung adenocarcinoma as the source have been reported extremely rare. Eyelid metastases present with various and non-specific clinical features, and therefore biopsy of suspicious or recurrent lesions is highly recommended to rule out such malignant processes.
