SEBACEOUS CARCINOMA OF THE EYELIDS
SEBACEOUS CARCINOMA OF THE EYELIDS

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) of the eyelids is a rare malignant tumor that leads to decreased visual acuity and increased mortality rate. It is considered to be the third most common malignant tumor of the eyelids accounting for 1-5,5% cases of all malignant eyelid tumors. Aim: The aim of this article is to evaluate the occurrence of SC at Dept. of Ophthamology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University and University Hospital Ružinov in Bratislava and to compare the occurrence of SC with occurrence of other eyelid carcinomas in observed period (1.12 2017-31.12.2019). We also evaluate another aspects of occurrence of SC. Material and Methods: We used histopathological findings of patients at Dept. of Ophthalmology in observed period (1.12 2017-31.12.2019) to evaluate the occurrence of SC. We used graphs and tables to statistically illustrate our findings. Results: We observed 86 cases of patients with 90 eyelid carcinomas. Among these we observed 80% of basocellular carcinomas (72 cases), 11% of spinocellular carcinomas (10), 4,4% of sebaceous carcinomas (4), 3% of Morbus Bowen (3) and 1% of Merkel cell carcinoma (1). We also observed primary anatomical location of sebaceous carcinomas and the age and gender distribution of patients with sebaceous carcinomas. Conclusion: According to the literature, we found SC to be the third most common eyelid malignancy. The occurrence of SC in regard to age and gender of patients as well as observed location of tumor was in accordance with the literature.
