Summary

Seborrheic keratosis, a common eyelid tumor, can mimic melanoma or basal cell carcinoma. This case highlights an atypical presentation requiring surgical reconstruction for functional and cosmetic restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Seborrheic keratosis is the most common eyelid tumor, often affecting individuals in the latter half of life.
  • Clinical presentation can be mistaken for basal cell carcinoma or melanoma, necessitating histopathological confirmation.
  • The tumor typically presents as a benign growth on the skin of the eyelids.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old male presented with a large, pigmented, cerebriform mass on the superior eyelid, causing ptosis and evolving over five years.
  • Initial examination suggested melanoma or basal cell carcinoma due to the mass's appearance.
  • A biopsy initially indicated basal cell carcinoma, but final histopathology confirmed seborrheic keratosis.

Findings:

  • The patient's seborrheic keratosis was atypical due to its extensive coverage of the entire upper eyelid, leading to significant disfigurement and functional impairment.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Despite initial biopsy results suggesting basal cell carcinoma, definitive histological analysis confirmed seborrheic keratosis.
  • Surgical excision and subsequent eyelid reconstruction were necessary due to the tumor's size and location.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering seborrheic keratosis in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumors, even with atypical presentations.
    • Histopathological examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis, especially when clinical and initial biopsy findings are conflicting.
    • Surgical intervention may be required for extensive or functionally compromising eyelid tumors, with reconstruction techniques essential for restoring form and function.
