Eyelid Lesions: A Clinical Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Eyelid lesions are very common. These can be inflammatory, infectious, or neoplastic. Diagnosis is made by history and clinical examination. In suspected lesions, biopsy has to be done. Purpose: The aim of the study is to report the relative frequency of eyelid lesions. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional clinical study was done in 140 patients with eyelid lesions. All patients underwent eye examination which included visual acuity assessment, anterior segment, and fundus examination. In suspected lesions, biopsy was done to rule out malignancy. Results: Among 140 patients, external hordeolum was the most commonly seen with 64 cases (45.7%), followed by chalazion 50 cases (35.7%), nevus 7 cases (5%), xanthelasma 6 cases (4.3%), sebaceous cyst 4 cases (2.9%), cutaneous horn 3 cases (2.2%), squamous papilloma 2 cases (1.4%), dermoid cyst 3 cases (2.1%), and molluscum contagiosum 1 case (0.7%). Conclusion: Eyelid lesions are common with most being benign. Each lesion carries a different line of treatment. Early diagnosis and timely intervention help to prevent serious complications.
