Sebaceous adenoma is rare lesion and frequently misdiagnosed clinically as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Sebaceous carcinoma are still rarer lesions taking origin from sebaceous glands.We report a case of sebaceous carcinoma on upper eyelid which was a diagnostic dilemma.Biopsy in this case was sent to us with clinical diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma/Meibomian gland carc...

Oral lesions show a wide range of biologic behaviours. There are various lesions which may mimic others and present in such an unusual manner thus making them very difficult to diagnose clinico-pathologically. An accurate diagnosis is not only important for correct treatment planning but also for determination of prognosis. Thus, it is very important for a surgical pathologist to be aware of th...

purpose: to define the demographic and clinical features of eyelid masses at a referral hospital over a 10-year period. methods: this is a retrospective record-based study on patients with eyelid masses during the above-mentioned period. data on epidemiologic and clinical features and therapeutic approaches were collected and analyzed. results: 551 patients were included in the study from which...
