fungating mass of granulation tissue.
Secondary infection leads to formation of hordeolum internum.
Calcification may occur, though very rarely.
Malignant change into meibomian gland carcinoma may be seen
occasionally in elderly patients.

22. It is a suppurative inflammation of the meibomian gland
associated with blockage of the duct.
It may occur as primary staphylococcal infection of the meibomian
gland or due to secondary infection in a chalazion (infected
chalazion).
Treatment. It is similar to hordeolum externum, except
that, when the pus is formed, it should be drained by a vertical
incision from the tarsal conjunctiva.

anomaly.

muscle.
3. Blepharophimosis syndrome, – which comprises congenital
ptosis, blepharophimosis, telecanthus and epicanthus inversus .
4. Congenital synkinetic ptosis – (Marcus Gunn jaw winking ptosis).
– In this condition there occurs retraction of the ptotic lid with jaw
movements i.e., with stimulation of ipsilateral pterygoid muscle.
CONGENITAL PTOSIS
59. • It is determined by the lid excursion caused by LPS muscle (Burke’s
method).
– Patient is asked to look down, and thumb of one hand is placed firmly
against the eyebrow of the patient (to block the action of frontalis
muscle) by the examiner.
– Then the patient is asked to look up and the amount of upper lid
excursion is measured with a ruler held in the other hand by the
examiner.
– Levator function is graded as follows: • • • •
Normal 15 mm
Good 8 mm or more
Fair 5-7 mm
Poor 4 mm or less
LEVATOR FUNCTION ASSESMENT
71. . Papillomas:
These are the most common benign tumours arising from the
surface epithelium.
i. Squamous papillomas occur in adults, as very slow growing or
stationary, raspberry- like growths or as a pedunculate lesion,
usually involving the lid margin.
ii. Seborrhoeic keratosis occurs in middle- aged & older persons.
Their surface is friable, verrucous & slightly pigmented.
TREATMENT: Simple excision
73. Xanthelasma:
These are creamy-yellow plaque-like lesions which frequently
involve the skin of upper & lower lids near the inner canthus.
Xanthelasma represents lipid deposits in histiocytes in the dermis
of the lid.
These may be associated with diabetes mellitus or high
cholesterol levels
TREATMENT: Excision may be advised for cosmetic reasons; but
recurrences are common
75. Haemangiomas of the lids are common tumours
i. Capillary haemangioma:
Is the most common variety which occurs at or shortly after birth, often
grows rapidly & in many cases resolves spontaneously by the age of 7 years.
These may be superficial & bright red in colour or deep & bluish or violet in
colour.
They consists of proliferating capillaries & endothelial cells. TREATMENT:
Excision, Intralesional steroid, Superficial radiotherapy
ii. Naevus flammeus (port wine stain): It may occur side-by-side or more
commonly as a part of Sturge-Weber syndrome. It consists of dilated
vascular channels & does not grow or regress like the capillary haemangioma.
iii. Cavernous haemangioma: Are developmental & usually occur after first
decade of life. It consists of large endothelium-lined vascular channels &
usually does not show any regression.
HAEMANGIOMA:
78. Lids & orbits are commonly affected in neurofibromatosis (von
Recklinghausen’s disease). The tumour is usually plexiform type
NEUROFIBROMA:
81. . Basal-cell Carcinoma:
It is the commonest malignant tumour of the lids (90%) usually
seen in elderly people.
It is locally malignant & involves most commonly lower lid (50%)
followed by medial canthus (25%), upper lid (10-15%) & outer
canthus (5-10%).
TREATMENT: Surgery, Radiotherapy & Cryotherapy
MALIGNANT TUMOURS
83. BASAL- CELL CARCINOMA
It may present in four forms:
Noduloulcerative basal cell carcinoma is the most common
presentation.
It starts as a small nodule which undergoes central ulceration
with pearly rolled margins.
The tumour grows by burrowing & destroying the tissues locally
like a rodent & hence the name rodent ulcer.
Other rare presentations include: non- ulcerated nodular form,
sclerosing or morphea type & pigmented basal cel
84. It forms the second commonest malignant tumour of the lid.
Its incidence (5%) is much less than the basal cell carcinoma.
It commonly arises from the lid margin (mucocutaneous junction)
in elderly patients.
Affects upper & lower lids equally.
TREATMENT: Treatment on the lines of basal cell carcinoma.
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA:
85. It may present in two forms:
An ulcerated growth with elevated & indurated margins is the
common presentation.
The second form, fungating or polypoid verrucous lesion without
ulceration, is a rare presentation.
Metastasis: It metastatises in preauricular & sub-mandibular
lymph nodes
CLINICAL FEATURES OF SQUAMOUS CELL
CARCINOMA
87. It is a rare tumour arising from the meibomian glands.
TREATMENT: Surgical excision with reconstruction of lids;
recurrences are common.
CLINICAL FEATURES:
It usually presents initially as a nodule (which may be mistaken
for a chalazion). Which then grows to form a big growth.
Rarely, a diffuse tumour along the lid margin may be mistaken as
chronic blepharitis
SEBACEOUS GLAND CARCINOMA
89. It is a rare tumour of the lid (less than 1% of all eyelid lesions).
It may arise from a pre-existing naevus, but usually arises from
the beginning from the melanocytes present in the skin.
TREATMENT: Surgical excision with reconstruction of lid
MALIGNANT MELANOMA
(MELANOCARCINOMA):
90. It often appears as a flat or slightly elevated naevus which has
variegated pigmentation & irregular borders.
It may ulcerate & bleed.
Metastasis: The tumour spreads locally as well as to distant sites
by lymphatics & blood stream
