Palpebral tumors: Follow-up and evolution: About 27 cases

The eyelid is unique in that it contains tissues of very diverse origins in a small volume. All these tissues can degenerate malignantly or benignly, with the majority being benign. Orbito-palpebral tumors are characterized by histological diversity due to the architectural complexity of the orbito-palpebral region. Our study consists of an epidemiological, histological, therapeutic and evolutionary analysis of these carcinomas through a retrospective study extending over a period from September 2022 to March-September 2024, including 27 patients with eyelid tumors operated on in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Burns Center, CHU Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima. Our patients ranged in age from 17 to 84 years, with an average age of 60.11 years and a clear male predominance. Rural origin was represented (68.75%), and the majority had been exposed to the sun. All regions of the eyelid were affected, with a concentration of lesions in the lower eyelid (62.96%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent histological type (75%), followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (18.75%).
