Abstract

ROJAS RONDON, Irene et al. Clinical and anatomopathological correlation of palpebral tumors operated on at the Oculoplasty Service. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.1, pp.119-128. ISSN 0864-2176.

Objective: to characterize the clinical and pathological correlation of eyelid tumor lesions. Methods: a retrospective and descriptive study was conducted in patients with eyelid tumors surgically treated at the Ocular Plastic Surgery Department of "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology in the period from January to September 2011. The sample consisted of 196 patients operated on from different eyelid tumors , who met the inclusion criteria. The variables used were age, sex, race, location of malignant eyelid tumors, quality of the surgical resection quality and correspondence between the clinical and the pathological diagnoses. Results: the largest age group was the 65 years-old percent and older with 38 %, and females accounted for 63 %. The Caucasian patients represented 85%. There was clinical and pathological correspondence in 65 % of patients with benign tumors and in 71 % of malignancies. Excision of the lesion was complete in most of cases. Conclusions: there was correspondence between the clinical and the pathological diagnoses of eyelid tumors, being higher in malignant tumors.

Keywords : clinical diagnostic; anatomopathological diagnostic; eyelid tumors; malignant eyelid tumors.
