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.
