Abstract
The infundibulocystic subtype of Basal cell Carcinoma (IBCC) is a rare entity. It was proposed as a new BCC variant and has been described as a sporadic lesion or as part of Multiple Hereditary Infundibulocysytic BCC(MHIBCC). IBCC in the lids associated with MHIBCC or basal cell naevus syndrome has been reported. However an isolated IBCC of lids has seldom been reported in ophthalmic literature. We report a rare case of solitary IBCC of lids.We report a rare histopathological variant of the commonest lid malignancy, ie BCC.Histopathology of excised lesion of a recuurent chalazion turned out to be IBCC, a rare variant to date reported only as part of MHIBCC. The solitary IBCC, though yet to be reported in lids in ophthalmic literature does exist and ophthalmologists as well as pathologists should be aware of this entity and its less aggressive course.
