Eyelid Lesion Removal

Definition of disease:

Lesions of the eyelid and orbit can be benign or malignant. In the orbit, these lesions can originate from nerves, vessels, lacrimal glands, and lymphoma tissue, or they can enter the orbit from the sinuses, brain, and other adjacent structures.

In the eyelid, lesions originate from the skin and sebaceous glands.

👈 Causes of the disease:

As there are different types of tumors, the mechanism of their development is different. However, in eyelid tumors, the main risk factor is sun damage. Skin that has been severely damaged by sunlight is more likely to develop cancer. Using appropriate sun protection is very important. People should:

Wear sunglasses.

Use sunscreen (there are sunscreens that can be used on the eyelids).

Avoid sun exposure between 12 noon and 3 pm.

Patients who currently have skin cancer elsewhere on the body, especially the face, should see an oculoplastic specialist for early diagnosis as soon as they notice a lesion on their eyelids that is not painful but bleeds or itches.

👈 Symptoms of the disease:

✅ Presence of a raised lesion on the eyelid
✅ Tearing
✅ Redness of the eye
✅ Constant blinking and pain
✅ Eyelid sores
✅ Change in eyelid color
✅ Loss of eyelashes
✅ Sometimes in adults, sebaceous gland tumors of the eyelid appear with frequent eyelash growths.

👈 Surgical method:

Treatment depends on the type of tumor. Benign eyelid tumors can be easily removed with a small operation. However, larger tumors may require more complex surgeries. Malignant tumors must be completely removed, which is sometimes done easily, but sometimes requires complex surgeries in two or three visits. For orbital tumors, treatment will vary and depends on the type of tumor. Their sensitive location means they cannot always be removed. Tumors that are easy to reach are completely removed, but those that are in a difficult-to-reach area need to be monitored after each examination to determine how to continue their treatment. Treatment for these types of tumors does not always require surgery. The most common orbital tumor is lymphoma. Lymphoma is diagnosed through a biopsy, but its treatment is not surgery, but radiotherapy or chemotherapy are used, depending on the histology.

👈 Postoperative care:

✅ After removing the dressing, you may notice thin bloody discharge on the dressing or inside the eye, which is normal and not a cause for concern. Usually, this discharge resolves within one to two days.
✅ Also, after surgery, bruising and swelling occur at the surgical site, which is also normal. Bruising will usually resolve within 10 days to two weeks.
✅ Your ophthalmologist may advise you to use antibiotic or steroid drops, ointments for a few days. Using these medications will reduce inflammation and help the surgical site heal faster.
✅ If you experience pain at the surgical site, you can use common painkillers such as acetaminophen to control the pain.
✅ Depending on the condition of the eye and the doctor's discretion, the stitches will be removed a few days later.
✅ It should be noted that skin lesions always have a chance of recurring.
