“…This result was the same as that of previous studies. 1,2 The predominance of BCC in the lower eyelid was shown in various studies 2,4,12,13,15 as well as in our study. However, more SGCs occurred in the upper eyelid in various studies 7,8,16,17 and in this study.…”

“…14 The median age at diagnosis of all eyelid malignancies was 63 years, similar to that found in studies in Singapore, 5 but lower than that seen in Japan, 10 where a median age in the 70s was reported. The average age at diagnosis of BCC of the eyelid is nearly 60, 4 which is comparable to the 61.8 years that we report. Patients with SGC are usually between their fifth and ninth decades of life.…”

“…It accounts for 80-90% of all eyelid cancers in Western literature. 4 However, in various studies of Chinese patients, BCC comprises 28.2-82.8% of the cases (Table 3). In our study, BCC was the most frequently encountered eyelid cancer (62.2%).…”

“…Mortality from eyelid and medial canthal BCC ranged from 2 to 11%, based on data from several decades ago. 4 The local recurrence rate of 26% was observed at 5 years for SGC. The mean interval to recurrence or metastasis was about 1.5 years, mostly within 4 years.…”

“…BCC is the most common malignant eyelid tumour. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, SGC occurs much less frequently in the West than it does in China. 7 The lethality of SGC is also very different from that of BCC.…”

Aims To describe the clinical characteristics of patients with eyelid cancers in Taiwan. Methods Between 1980 and 2000, 127 (58 males and 69 females) patients (mean age 62.6; range 10-91 years) with histologically confirmed eyelid cancers were retrospectively evaluated at the National Taiwan University Hospital and Far Eastern Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. Clinical data of all patients were reviewed from medical records. The mean follow-up period was 62.4 months (range 3-240) for 113 patients. Results The 127 eyelid cancers included 79 basal cell carcinomas (62.2%), 30 sebaceous gland carcinomas (23.6%), 11 squamous cell carcinomas (8.7%), five malignant melanomas (3.9%), one Kaposi's sarcoma (0.8%), and one metastatic cancer (0.8%). Tumours developed more commonly in the lower (37.0%) than the upper eyelid (33.9%). The clinical accuracy in predicting eyelid malignancy was 90.5%. Primary treatment modality was mainly surgical excision. The recurrence, metastasis, and mortality rates at 5 years were 15.2, 11.7, and 7.3%, respectively, for all eyelid malignancies. Rates of sebaceous gland carcinoma recurrence, metastasis, and mortality were significantly higher (Po0.05) than those of basal cell carcinoma. The mean interval of recurrence or metastasis after primary treatment was 26.3 months (range 4-112) for all eyelid cancers. Conclusions Although basal cell carcinoma is the most common eyelid cancer in Taiwan, sebaceous gland carcinoma is also common. Of the two, basal cell carcinoma has a better prognosis and sebaceous gland carcinoma has a higher mortality and therefore should be treated much more aggressively. Long-term follow-up is needed after treatment of malignant eyelid tumours.

e describe a 24-year-old man with primary basal cell carcinoma of the caruncle. Clinically the lesion was a whitish, slightly prominent nodule surrounded by fine vessels. No associated cutaneous lesion and no connection to the surrounding skin was present. The lesion was subsequently completely excised, and histopathological examination revealed a solid-cystic basal cell carcinoma of the caruncle. Primary basal cell carcinoma of the caruncle is an extremely rare but distinct entity. To our knowledge, review of the literature has not demonstrated a previous photographically documented case of primary basal cell carcinoma of the caruncle.
