Methods: The records of the patients who have been operated for eyelid tumors at ophthalmology and plastic surgery clinics of our Hospital, between the years of 20112013 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Fifty-four (40.9%) male and 78 (59.1%) female totally 12 patients of mean age 45 years (4-85) were recruited in this study. The location of tumor was upper lid in 74 (56.1%) patients, lower lid in 58 (43.9%) patients. Malign lid tumor was found in 8 patients of mean age 68.1 years (3 cases squamous cell carcinoma, 5 cases basal cell carcinoma). Benign lid tumours were found in 124 (93.9%) patients of mean age 43.1 years. Most commonly detected lid tumor was melanocytic dermal nevus in 39 cases (29.5%). Papilloma was seen in 36 (27.3%) patients, xanthelesma in 23(17.4%) patients, epidermal inclusion cyst in 14 (10.6%) patients, and seborrheic keratosis in 12 (9%) patients. Most commonly seen lid tumor was melanocytic nevus in females (34.6%) and papilloma in males (35.1%). Conclusion: In our study most commonly detected benign eyelid tumor was melanocytic nevus and most commonly detected malign eyelid tumor was basal cell carcinoma. Most of the eyelid tumours were benign. Benign tumours were most commonly seen between the age of 40-50 years and malign tumours between the ages of 60-70 years.
