Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) of the eyelid are more common in women and older individuals, often appearing on the lower lid. Tumor size correlates with age and location, with a 5% recurrence rate after clear surgical margins.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy of the eyelid.
  • Understanding the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of eyelid BCC is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical and histopathological features of basal cell carcinomas of the eyelid.
  • To analyze patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 200 patients with eyelid BCC treated between 2000 and 2013.
  • Review of medical records, histopathology, and photographic images.

Main Results:

  • Females were more frequently affected (mean age 70 years).
  • 50% of tumors occurred on the lower lid, often medially; 47% involved the lid margin.
  • Mean tumor diameter was 9.2mm, with a 5% recurrence rate after clear resection. Larger tumors were associated with older age and proximity to the lid margin.

Conclusions:

  • Eyelid BCC predominantly affects women and increases with age.
  • Lower lid involvement is more common, potentially due to light reflection and tear effects.
  • Patients seek care based on gender, age, and tumor location.
