Resumen

GOMEZ CABRERA, Clara G.; TORO TOLOZA, Isaías  y  VIGOA ARANGUREN, Lázaro. Ocular adnexa tumors. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2001, vol.14, n.2. ISSN 0864-2176.

A retrospective study of 211 patients that were operated on for presenting some adnexa tumors with histologic confirmation from January, 1993, to December, 1997, was made. 53.5 % of the patients were females. 48.4 % were black. 13.3 % were under 20, 36 % were between 20 and 49 and 50.7 % were over 50. 61.1 % of the tumors were localized in the eyelids. The prevailing clinical signs were volume increase (56.9 %), pigmentation increase (23.71 %), vascularization (21.8 %) and ulceration (7.1 %). 61.6 % of the patients were asymptomatic. We found 14 histologic types of tumors in the eyelids and 15 in the conjunctiva. There were no significant differences as regards sex and type of tumor. Most of the cases were observed among the black, whereas the group of highest incidence was that of patients aged 50 and over. The eyelids were the chief anatomical localization. The most important clinical sign was the volume increase and most of the patients were asymptomatic. The eyelid tumors of highest incidence were the inclusion cysts, followed by the basocelular carcinoma and the granuloma. The nevus, the spinocellular carcinoma and the granuloma were remarkable in the conjunctiva.
