INTRODUCTION • Sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid is relatively rare (accounting for less than 1% of all eyelid tumors),1 and arises from periocularMeibomian gland, Zeiss gland or sebaceous gland. • Its recognition is often delayed because of its ability to masquerade as other periocularlesions like chronic chalazion, blepharoconjunctivitis, superior limbic keratitisor chronic conjunctivitis.2,3 1.

CASE REPORT: History... • A 60 year old female presented with a fleshy, painless mass in the lower lid RE of 4 months duration, progressively increasing in size, associated with occasional bleeding and purulent discharge. • There was history of excision biopsy (report suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma) and use of Mitomicin C eye drops one year back. RE: right eye LE: left eye
On examination... • Local examination revealed a 10 X 15mm irregular mass, with areas of necrosis and ulceration, arising from the conjunctival surface of the lower lid, involving both upper and lower lid margins • (with thickening and loss of lashes). • Visual acuity: No perception of light (RE) and best corrected visual acuity (LE) 6/6, N6. Fig 1: Pre-operative clinical photograph
On examination... • The globe was pushed upwards and backwards. Cornea was clear, anterior chamber was shallow with a non reactive pupil. Status of the lens could not be made out. • Left eye was pseudophakic with normal features, with normal fundus findings. • No lymph nodes were palpable.
Investigations… • Ultrasonography of the abdomen and X-ray chest ruled out systemic metastases. • All routine blood investigations including renal and liver function tests were normal. Fig 2: CT scan (axial view) showing the mass, with no bony erosion.
Histopathological findings… Histopathology report: moderately differentiated sebaceous cell carcinoma (mixed type)
The Final Picture… Fig 7: 2 weeks post- op photograph, showing granulation tissue
DISCUSSION • Sebaceous cell carcinoma affects mainly elderly females, average age being 72.4 It is much more prevalent in countries such as India and China,5 often producing potentially fatal consequences.Almost 50% of sebaceous cell carcinomas are misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. • Poor prognostic factors include upper lid origin, size of more than 10 mm, Meibomian gland origin, symptoms for more than 6 months, infiltrative growth pattern, poor differentiation, pagetoid infiltration, orbital, lymphatic or vascular invasion.6 4.
