Diagnosis And Excision Of A Solitary Trichoepithelioma, Leonid Skorin Jr., Do, Od, Ms
Optometric Clinical Practice
Abstract
Background: Solitary trichoepithelioma is a rare benign tumor of hair follicle origin. Although trichoepithelioma has a predilection for the face and neck, it is not usually found on the eyelids. It has similar clinicopathological features to basal cell carcinoma. Surgical excision and histopathologic analysis is helpful for correct diagnosis.
Case Report: A 59-year-old Caucasian female presented with a raised, reddish oval mass on the right lower eyelid. The mass had telangiectatic blood vessels on its surface, was non-pigmented and slightly umbilicated. It was in close approximation of the eyelid margin causing distortion and poor apposition of the lid to …

Background: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer in humans and is frequently found in the periocular region. It is generally characterized by slow growth with rare metastasis and has an excellent prognosis with current surgical techniques. However, if neglected or inadequately treated it can lead to substantial localized tissue destruction and morbidity.
Case Report: This case presents an advanced basal cell carcinoma involving the left side of the nose and medial eyelids which had been neglected by the patient, causing significant functional disability and cosmetic disfigurement. The tumor was removed with a wide surgical excision which required …

Optometric Clinical Practice
Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common eyelid malignancy, accounting for approximately 90% of malignant eyelid lesions.1 Despite its high occurrence rates, it is frequently misdiagnosed as one of the benign “lumps and bumps” that can be present on the eyelid. In the present case, a patient with a past BCC on the right upper eyelid presented with a left lower eyelid lesion which persisted for months before the patient sought evaluation by an eyecare provider. This benign-looking lash-line lesion was the only external sign of the malignancy found on the deep surface of the eyelid and …
