Abstract

The Clinical Resemblance of the rare carcinoma of the meibomian gland to the relatively frequent chalazion should be kept in mind by anyone performing eye lid surgery. The author recently experienced two cases of Meibomian gland adenocarcinoma of upper lid. In the first case a 65-year old female visited our hospital in March, 1976 with a large mass in the right upper eyelid which had showed progressive enlargement of two years duration. A Diopsy was carried out and the histopathological examination revealed sebaceous adenocarcinoma. She was treated with local resection with full thickness containing normal tissue around the lesion of upper lid and reconstructive surgery for upper eyelid. A radiation therapy was performed with good result. In second case, a 80-year old female visited our hospital in Dec. 1975 with a large mass in the left upper eye lid which had showed progressive enlargement of one year duration. The tumor was resected and the histopathologic examination revealed sebaceous adenocarcinoma. A radiation therapy was performed with good result.
