Abstract :
Introduction: Eyelid tumors are common causes of morbidity and frequent causes of recurrent hospital visits in developing countries. Although through clinical evaluation clinches the diagnosis in most of the cases, Histopathological evaluation still plays an important role for confirmation and treatment.Aim and Objective: To analyze the demographic profile and frequency of eyelid tumors; comparison between clinical its histopathological diagnosis at the tertiary care hospital in western part of West Bengal.Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of eyelid tumors which were operated from Feb 2022 to Aug 2022 (6 months) were analysed. Data was collected on age, gender, type of tumour and histopathological diagnosis.Results: A total of 95 patients were evaluated, of all 43 (42.2%) were male 52 (54.7%) were female. Most presented between the age group of 25 to 55 years of age. Patients with infective pathology constituted 28.4% of cases, non-infective inflammatory 38.9% cases, 18.9% had benign pathology, 5.2% had malignant pathology. HPE report of 35 (36.84%), patients were collected who were clinically suspicious or there was uncertainty about diagnosis, 85.7% samples correlated with provisional or pretreatment diagnosis.Conclusion: High degree of suspicion, timely intervention and histopathological confirmation is crucial for management of eyelid tumors in a tertiary care centre which lacks separate oculoplasty set up. Explaining proper follow up is mandatory to detect recurrence. In our set up benign lesions like rhinosporidiosis, and all malignant lesions were explained the need of future follow up after intervention.
