RAMIREZ HERNANDEZ, Ana Leticia; VELASCO RAMOS, Pablo De la Cruz; GARRIDO SANCHEZ, Gildardo Agustín  e  BORBOLLA PERTIERRA, Ana María. Sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.3, pp.1-6. ISSN 0864-2176.

The main malignant tumors affecting the eyelids in an order of frequency are basal cell carcinoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Sebaceous gland carcinoma is a neoplasm originating in sebaceous glands predominantly from the head and neck, particularly meibomian glands, though it may also affect the glands of Zeis or both, and its most common site of presentation is the upper eyelid. A 46-year-old male patient presents with a pediculated vascularized lesion on his lower left eyelid after drainage of a supposed chalazion. The lesion was shaved off and reoccurred a second time. Sebaceous cell carcinoma is managed with broad resection and reconstruction by Hughes' technique.

Palavras-chave : Sebaceous gland neoplasm; sebaceous gland carcinoma; eyelid carcinoma; palpebral disease; meibomian gland; chalazion.
