1 MALIGNANT EYELID TUMOURS
1. Basal cell carcinoma 2. Squamous cell carcinoma 3. Meibomian gland carcinoma 4. Melanoma 5. Kaposi sarcoma 6. Merkel cell carcinoma 7. Treatment

2 Basal Cell Carcinoma - Important Facts
1. Most common human malignancy 2. Usually affects the elderly 3. Slow-growing, locally invasive 4. Does not metastasize 5. 90% occur on head and neck 6. Of these 10% involve eyelids 7. Accounts for 90% of eyelid malignancies

3 Frequency of location of basal cell carcinoma
Lower lid - 70% Medial canthus - 15% Upper lid - 10% Lateral canthus - 5%

4 Nodular basal cell carcinoma
Early Advanced Slow progression Shiny, indurated nodule Surface vascularization May destroy large portion of eyelid

5 Ulcerative basal cell carcinoma
(rodent ulcer) Early Advanced Chronic ulceration Raised rolled edges and bleeding

6 Sclerosing basal cell carcinoma
Early Advanced Spreads radially beneath normal epidermis Indurated plaque with loss of lashes May mimic chronic blepharitis Margins impossible to delineate

7 Histology of basal cell carcinoma
Cell nests in fibrous stroma Downgrowth from epidermis of small, dark atypical basal cells Peripheral palisading

8 Squamous cell carcinoma
Less common but more aggressive than BCC May arise de novo or from actinic keratosis Predilection for lower lid Nodular Ulcerative Hard, hyperkeratotic nodule Red base May develop crusting fissures Borders sharply defined, indurated and elevated No surface vascularization

9 Histology of squamous cell carcinoma
Prominent nuclei and abundant acidophilic cytoplasm Variable sized groups of atypical epithelial cells within dermis Keratin ‘pearl’

10 Meibomian gland carcinoma
Very rare aggressive tumour with 10% mortality Predilection for upper lid Nodular Hard nodule; may mimic a chalazion Very large tumour Spreading Diffuse thickening of lid margin and loss of lashes Conjunctival invasion; may mimic chronic conjunctivitis

11 Histology of meibomian gland carcinoma
Cells contain foamy vacuolated cytoplasm and large hyperchromatic nuclei Cells stain positive for fat

12 Melanoma Nodular Superficial spreading From lentigo maligna
(Hutchinson freckle) Plaque with irregular outline Blue-black nodule with normal surrounding skin Affects elderly Slowly expanding pigmented macule May be non-pigmented Variable pigmentation

13 Kaposi sarcoma Vascular tumour occurring in patients with AIDS
Usually associated with advanced disease Very sensitive to radiotherapy Early Advanced Pink, red-violet lesion May ulcerate and bleed

14 Merkel cell carcinoma Highly malignant with frequent metastases at presentation Fast-growing, violaceous, well-demarcated nodule Intact overlying skin Predilection for upper eyelid

15 Treatment Options 1. Surgical excision 2. Radiotherapy 3. Cryotherapy
Method of choice 2. Radiotherapy Small BCC not involving medial canthus Kaposi sarcoma 3. Cryotherapy Small and superficial BCC irrespective of location Adjunct to surgery in selected cases

16 Lower eyelid reconstruction following tumour excision
a b Direct closure of small defect a b b Tenzel flap for moderate defect Mustarde cheek rotation flap for large defect

17 Eyelid-sharing procedure
Extensive sclerosing BCC Total excision of lower lid Tarsoconjunctival flap Appearance after healing Reconstruction of posterior lamella Reconstruction of anterior lamella with skin graft
