OBJECTIVE To describe the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with eyelid tumours in Hong Kong. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING A tertiary eye centre in Hong Kong. PATIENTS A computerised retrieval system was used to identify all patients who underwent eyelid mass excisions with histological reports, encountered in the period 2000 to 2009, in a tertiary eye centre. T...

A total of 89 histopathologically proven ocular tumours and tumour-like lesions treated in Hospital University Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan over a period of nine years were reviewed for their age distribution, site of lesion and histological type. The tumours were observed in all age groups with a maximum prevalence in the first decade. Twenty lesions were malignant and 69 were benig...

A 76-year-old man presented with slowly progressive swelling in his forehead and left upper eyelid over the course of three months. CT scanning showed non-specific enhancement of subcutaneous tissues, suggesting a low-grade cellulitis. Poor response to treatment prompted an MRI, which revealed the presence of a soft tissue lesion. Biopsy of this lesion was positive for angiosarcoma. The patient...

Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. The disease affects primarily herbivores including sheep, cattle, horses, and other domestic animals. Humans may rarely be affected. We examined one male and two female patients with a localised itchy erythematous papule of the eyelid. A necrotising ulcer formed in each of the three cases resulting in a black lesion. Scraping in each case showe...

Lipid profile including low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglyceride level was above normal range. He remembered that the site was scalded by boiling oil about eight months ago. The patient was diagnosed with xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) based on the c...

An 18-months-old male infant presented with a rapidly growing tumor on the right upper eyelid. Orbital computed tomography (CT) revealed a large, well-circumscribed mass with low density signal in the right upper eyelid. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) showed a lesion of mixed T1-signal intensity and high signal intensity in T2-weighted images. The tumor was treated by simple anterior orbitotom...
