The goal of the series is to provide an up-to-date clinical overview of the major areas of ophthalmology for students, residents, and practitioners in all the health care professions. The abundance of large, excellent-quality pho tographs (both in print and online) and con cise, outline-form text will help achieve that objective. Christopher J. Rapuano Series Editor About the Series
T he beauty of the atlas/synopsis con cept is the powerful combination of illustrative photographs and a summary approach to the text. Ophthalmology is a very visual discipline that lends itself won derfully to clinical photographs. Whereas the seven ophthalmic subspecialties in this series—Cornea, Retina, Glaucoma, Oculo plastics, Neuro-ophthalmology, Uveitis, and Pediatrics—employ varying levels of visual recognition, a relatively standard format for the text is used for all volumes.

Preface
T his text is aimed at assisting physicians (ophthalmologists and nonophthal mologists) in recognizing the most common oculoplastic conditions. Many oculoplastic conditions can be diagnosed on simple visual examination, which makes this atlas an ideal resource to have in emergency departments and in the office. It provides a solid basis of photographic and descriptive information to
diagnose oculoplastic conditions. Once these conditions are recognized, the text describes other tests that may be needed and the differ ential diagnoses that should be considered. The management options for these conditions are also briefly described. Robert B. Penne Editor

CHAPTER
Eyelid Neoplasms 3
KERATOACANTHOMA K eratoacanthoma presents as an isolated lesion on the face with a unique appear ance. The lesion is dome shaped with a cen tral keratin-filled crater. It grows rapidly over weeks and may undergo spontaneous regres sion over months. Once considered benign, this is now considered a low-grade squamous carcinoma by most pathologists. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Most often older than 50 years; rarely younger than 20 years ● Gender: More common in males than in females by a ratio of 2 to 1 ● Etiology: Unknown; ultraviolet radiation and chemical carcinogens may have a caus ative role. It is believed to originate from the pilosebaceous unit. History ● Rapid onset of growth over a few weeks ● The lesion is often asymptomatic except for cosmetic changes.
● There may be occasional tenderness. Examination ● Single, dome-shaped nodule with a central keratotic plug ● The lesion is firm and is slightly red to light brown in color ( Fig. 3-1 ). Special Considerations ● Once considered a benign lesion, there may still be some confusion in the liter ature about whether this is a squamous carcinoma. ● The lesion must be treated as a low-grade squamous carcinoma. Differential Diagnosis ● Basal cell carcinoma ● Hyperkeratotic actinic keratosis ● Squamous carcinoma Laboratory Tests ● Histopathology of the excised lesion ● Should be excised with frozen section guid ance or with Mohs surgery

KERATOACANTHOMA 31
Treatment ● Excision with pathologic evaluation ● These lesions will sometimes sponta neously regress over a few months to a year. ● On the eyelid, these are always excised with margin evaluation.
Prognosis ● Good
● Depending on the size of the lesion, recon struction of the defect may leave some eyelid changes.

ACTINIC KERATOSIS T hese lesions may be single or multiple on chronically sun-exposed skin. They ap pear as dry, rough, scaly lesions that are stable but can rarely disappear spontaneously. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Older than 40 years; rarely younger than 30 years ● Gender: Higher incidence in males ● Etiology: Sun exposure over time in a fair-skinned white population results in ac tinic keratosis. History ● Extensive sun exposure in youth ● Lesions present for months Examination ● Rough, slightly elevated, skin-colored or light brown lesions with hyperkeratotic scale ( Fig. 3-2 ) Special Considerations ● It is estimated that one squamous cell carci noma will develop per 1000 actinic keratoses. Synonym: solar keratosis
Laboratory Tests ● Pathologic evaluation if biopsied Pathophysiology
● Repeated solar exposure results in damage to the keratinocytes by the cumulative effects of ultraviolet radiation. Treatment ● Prevention through early and lifelong use of sunscreen ● Excise nodular lesions and submit for pathologic evaluation. ● Most flat lesions respond to liquid nitrogen or topical application of 5% 5-fluorouracil cream over a few days to weeks. ● Topical imiquimod cream has also been ap proved for the treatment of actinic keratosis. ● These three treatments (liquid nitrogen, 5-fluorouracil, and imiquimod) must be used with caution around the eye and should be avoided in lesions at or near the lid margin. Prognosis ● Some actinic keratoses may disappear spon taneously, but others remain for years unless treated. ● Incidence of squamous cell carcinoma de veloping in these lesions is unknown but has been estimated to be one squamous cell carci noma in every 1000 actinic keratoses.
Differential Diagnosis ● Squamous cell carcinoma ● Discoid lupus

LENTIGO MALIGNA L entigo maligna is a flat intraepidermal neoplasm and the precursor lesion of len tigo maligna melanoma. The lesion has strik ing variations of brown and black ( Fig. 3-3 ), often described as a “stain.” Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Median age is 65 years. ● Gender: Equal incidence in males and females ● Etiology: Sun exposure is a definite factor. History ● History is usually not helpful, because the exact onset of lesion is unclear. Examination ● Flat, dark brown or black color, sharply defined edges ● Often appears like a dark “stain” on the skin
Special Considerations ● This is a premalignant lesion and should be excised because of the chance of development into a lentigo maligna melanoma. Differential Diagnosis ● Seborrheic keratosis ● Actinic keratosis ● Malignant melanoma Laboratory Tests ● Histopathologic evaluation Treatment ● Excision with margins sent for pathologic evaluation Prognosis ● Excellent if excised before developing into a melanoma

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA B asal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It is locally invasive and aggressive but has very limited capacity to metastasize. If neglected, it can invade the or bit, especially if located in the medial canthal area. Most commonly, it occurs on the lower eyelid and is treated by complete surgical excision. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: More than 40 years. Rare cases do oc cur in the 20s and 30s. ● Gender: Males more than females ● Etiology: Sun exposure and fair skin with poor ability to tan are risk factors. Treatment with x-ray (for acne) increases the risk. ● Incidence: 500 to 1000 per 100,000 people History ● Slowly enlarging lesions in sun-exposed areas ● The lesions may be associated with bleeding. Examination ● Round or oval, firm lesions with depressed center ● The lesions are pink or red with fine thread-like telangiectasia. ● The center may be ulcerated. Basal cell car cinoma may also appear scar-like or can rarely be cystic ( Fig. 3-4A–D ). Special Considerations ● Aggressive treatment of basal cell carci noma of the medial canthal area is indicated because of the risk of orbital extension from the medial canthal area.
● Basal cell carcinomas almost never metastasize. ● Sclerosing basal cell carcinomas have poorly defined margins and may recur. ● Basal cell nevus syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome in which patients de velop multiple basal cells at a very young age ( Fig. 3-4E and F ). Differential Diagnosis ● Squamous cell carcinoma ● Trichoepithelioma Laboratory Tests ● Lesions are sent for pathologic evaluation. Treatment ● Complete surgical excision with pathologic evaluation ● Frozen sections or Mohs surgery is needed to ensure complete excision. ● Reconstruction of the defect is then com pleted at the same time. ● Treatment with radiation should not be used for lesions around the eye unless the pa tient is not a surgical candidate. ● Imiquimod cream can be used as a nonsur gical option if the lesion is not close to the eyelid margin. Prognosis ● Good when promptly and completely excised ● Neglected cases can invade the orbit and brain and have the potential, in rare cases, to be fatal.

SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
● These can present from very small to large. ● They may be crusted with bleeding or smooth ( Fig. 3-5 ). Differential Diagnosis ● Actinic keratosis ● Basal cell carcinoma ● Keratoacanthoma Laboratory Tests ● Pathologic evaluation Treatment ● Complete surgical excision with controlled margins ● Frozen sections and Mohs surgery are both appropriate options. ● Imiquimod cream can be used as a nonsur gical option if not close to the eyelid margin. Prognosis ● Excellent unless the lesion is neglected ● Squamous cell carcinoma rarely spreads via lymphatics, blood vessels, or along nerves.
S quamous cell carcinoma is a malignant tu mor of epithelial keratinocytes. It is often the result of exogenous carcinogens (ultravi olet exposure, exposure to ionizing radiation, arsenic). These lesions are much less common than basal cell carcinoma on the eyelids and are usually successfully treated with excision. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Older than 55 years ● Gender: Males more commonly involved than females ● Etiology: Sun exposure and fair skin with poor ability to tan are risk factors. Treatment with x-ray (for acne) increases the risk. ● Incidence: 12 per 100,000 white males; 7 per 100,000 white females; 1 per 100,000 African Americans History ● Persistent keratotic lesion or plaque that does not resolve after 1 month must be con sidered a potential carcinoma, especially in sun-exposed areas. Examination ● Two types of lesions: ■ Differentiated lesions are keratinized, firm, and hard. ■ Undifferentiated lesions are fleshy, gran ulomatous, and soft.

SEBACEOUS ADENOCARCINOMA S ebaceous adenocarcinoma is a highly ma lignant and potentially fatal tumor that arises from the sebaceous glands of the eyelid. In the early stages, this tumor can be difficult to recognize, and once it grows, it is difficult to contain, because it can have skip areas. Early recognition and aggressive excision are the keys to successful treatment. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Usually older than 50 years ● Gender: More common in females than males ● Etiology: Arises from the meibomian glands, glands of Zeis, or sebaceous glands of the caruncle, eyebrow, or facial skin History ● Often starts as a chronic blepharitis or non resolving chalazion ● Patients may have a chronic red, irritated eye for months to years. Examination ● Multiple potential presentations: ■ Nodular lesion simulating a chalazion ■ Unilateral chronic blepharitis ■ Cellular membrane growing over the conjunctiva ■ Destructive, often ulcerated, lesion on the eyelid margin ( Fig. 3-6 ) ■ Occurrence in the upper eyelid is twice as common as in the lower eyelid.
Special Considerations ● This lesion is the great masquerader. Delay in diagnosis as a carcinoma and subsequent growth of the lesion add to the poor progno sis for this tumor. Differential Diagnosis ● Basal cell carcinoma ● Squamous cell carcinoma ● It is important to alert your pathologist if this sebaceous adenocarcinoma is suspected. ● Special stains have been used in the past to confirm the presence of intracytoplasmic lip ids (Oil Red O). Immunohistochemical stains are now used to confirm the diagnosis. ● Without these stains, the lesion may be misdiagnosed. Treatment ● Clinically diagnosing the lesion is often the biggest challenge. ● Biopsy of any suspicious lesion is the key. ● Once diagnosed, complete excision with wide, controlled margins is the treatment of choice. ● There can be skip areas, so careful follow-up for recurrence is needed. Prognosis ● This is a potentially lethal tumor that must be treated aggressively. ● Chronic blepharitis ● Chronic chalazion Pathophysiology

MALIGNANT MELANOMA M alignant melanoma is a rare but very dangerous malignant lesion of the eye lids. Sun exposure in childhood is an etiologic factor. Despite aggressive surgical excision, this can still be a fatal tumor. Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Third decade and beyond ● Gender: Equal between males and females ● Etiology: Sun exposure and genetic predisposition History ● Pigmented lesion with recent growth or change in appearance Examination ● Pigmented lesion with irregular pigment deposition, irregular margins, or just increase in size ( Fig. 3-7 ) ● There may be ulceration and bleeding. Differential Diagnosis ● Nevus ● Pigmented basal cell carcinoma
Laboratory Tests ● Specimens are sent for pathologic evaluation. Treatment ● Complete excision with aggressive, con trolled surgical margins ● Frozen sections for margin control have limited value in a melanoma. ● The deeper the lesion, the wider the mar gins required. ● Sentinel lymph node biopsy is usually required. ● Melanomas are best excised via a team ap proach at centers experienced with melanoma treatment. Prognosis ● Dependent on the depth of the tumor, spread to nodes or metastasis ● Five-year survival rate is improving.

KAPOSI SARCOMA K aposi sarcoma is a vascular neoplasia that can involve multiple systems. It is a rare lesion of the eyelids but, when present, is usu ally associated with a compromised immune system, most commonly HIV disease.
Differential Diagnosis ● Pyogenic granuloma ● Chalazion ● Hemangioma ● Melanocytic nevus Laboratory Tests
● Pathologic evaluation if biopsied ● Evaluation of the immune system if indicated Treatment ● Excision with pathologic evaluation ● Cryotherapy or intralesional chemothera peutic agents may be used for local control of the lesions. ● Radiation treatment for some large lesions Prognosis ● Patients who develop lesions associated with HIV often have a short survival and die from advancement of the HIV disease. ● Patients with primary Kaposi sarcoma may survive for years.
Epidemiology and Etiology ● Age: Any ● Gender: More common in males
● Etiology: Vascular neoplasia is often associ ated with immune compromise in the United States. History ● Rapid growth of lesion may occur. ● Patients most commonly are HIV positive, although other forms of immune compromise may predispose patients to these lesions. Examination ● Elevated dermal lesions that are red or pur ple ( Fig. 3-8 )
