BACKGROUND: Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelid is an aggressive tumour with the ability to metastasise and an increased morbidity. Controversies regarding the epidemiology of this malignant eyelid tumour is widespread in the scientific literature. Western reports repeatedly describes eyelid SGC as a rare occurring tumour in general, accounting for 1%-3% of all eyelid tumours, however studies from Asia have uncovered a higher frequency of eyelid SGC including 54% of all eyelid tumours in Japan, and 43%-56% in India. We wish to retrieve observational data of eyelid SGC prevalence in proportion to total eyelid tumours, from pathological studies published worldwide to resolve this controversy.
METHODS: We will search Ovid Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus and Google Scholar to identify published reports on eyelid SGC prevalence proportions, aiming to clarify the incidence of the tumour. We will include observational clinicopathological studies reporting prevalence with confirmed histopathology. No limitations on publication date or language will be applied. Data from the individual studies and study quality will be extracted by two individual reviewers. Study quality will be assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Instrument for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data. Raw proportions will be transformed and pooled using a random effects model for meta-analysis. And subgroup analysis according to geography will be performed. If data are deemed unsuitable for a meta-analysis, a narrative synthesis will be presented. We will judge the certainty of evidence and present whether this has an overall effect on the results. The results may shed light on a long-standing academic disparity of the scientific literature.
BACKGROUND: This systematic review does not require ethical approval. The results of this proposed review will be the subject to a publication in an international peer-reviewed journal within the ophthalmic or pathological specialty.

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare malignancy of the sweat glands that most commonly affects the periorbital area. It is characterized by slow growth over a prolonged period, and its morphology can be easily confused with a benign tumor, such as an epidermal cyst. Consequently, many patients experience recurrence after undergoing multiple resections. However, there are few reports concerning the surgical management of PCMC. We present two cases of PCMC originating in the periorbital area. The first case involved a 76-year-old man with a mass measuring 3.0× 1.5 cm that had been increasing in size. The second case was a 61-year-old man with two masses, each measuring 1.0× 1.0 cm, that were also growing. Both patients underwent wide excision with a 5-mm safety margin, which was determined based on the widest view of the cross-section of the mass on the magnetic resonance imaging. Subsequently, based on the intraoperative frozen biopsy results, both patients underwent additional excision with a 5-mm safety margin in only one direction. This report shows that, when determining the surgical margin of PCMC in periorbital area, employing imaging modalities and intraoperative frozen biopsies can be helpful for narrowing the surgical margin.

No randomized trials exist to inform the peripheral surgical margins or depth of wide excision for eyelid melanoma. We performed a meta-analysis examining surgical margins and Breslow depth for eyelid melanomas. A systematic review was performed in August 2022 using PubMed, Cochrane, and Medline databases (1/1/1990 to 8/1/2022). Inclusion criteria included studies reporting surgical treatment of primary cutaneous melanomas of the eyelid with reported surgical margins. Ten articles were included. The studies were examined by surgical margin size (group 1: ≤ 0.5 cm; group 2 > 0.5 cm and ≤ 1.5 cm) and Breslow depth (group 1: ≤ 1 mm; group 2: > 1 mm). The odds ratio (OR) for local recurrence was 2.55 [95% CI 0.36-18.12], p = 0.18; regional metastasis was 0.70 [95% CI 0.00-23671.71], p = 0.48; and distant metastasis was 2.47 [95% CI 0.00-1687.43], p = 0.66. When examining by Breslow depth, the OR for local recurrence was 0.53 [95% CI 0.14-1.94], p = 0.34; regional metastasis was 0.14 [0.00-176.12], p = 0.54; and the OR for distant metastasis was 0.24 [95% CI 0.01-8.73], p = 0.46. There was a trend toward higher likelihood of recurrence and metastasis in the ≤ 0.5 cm group. Similarly, there is a trend toward higher likelihood of recurrence and metastasis with Breslow depth > 1 mm. A surgical margin of at least 0.5 cm and achievement of negative margins via permanent sections or MMS are likely needed to prevent adverse outcomes. En face sectioning may be a superior method of histological processing for eyelid melanoma.

BACKGROUND: Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is the third most common eyelid malignancy, after basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is highly malignant and potentially aggressive. Surgical excision is currently the best treatment option for this condition. Patients often require reconstruction surgery to repair eyelid defects to achieve normal eyelid function and appearance. However, no comprehensive systematic review has assessed the efficacy and safety of eyelid defect reconstruction. This protocol was developed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate evidence related to the efficacy and safety of reconstruction.
METHODS: We will systematically search the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from their inception to February 2023 for studies on eyelid defect reconstruction. We will identify other potential studies using multiple methods such as manual searching. The outcomes were eyelid function, eyelid morphology, patient satisfaction, recurrence rate, metastasis rate, tumor-related mortality, and adverse events. Two researchers will independently screen titles and abstracts, identify full-text studies for inclusion, extract data, and appraise the risk of bias in the included studies. A meta-analysis will be conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and R software. The certainty of evidence will be appraised by grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation system.
RESULTS: This full-text will adhere to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement to ensure clarity and completeness of reporting in all phases of the systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence of the efficacy and safety of reconstruction methods for sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid.

UNASSIGNED: Signet-ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma (SRCHC) is a rare appendageal tumor, mainly considering eyelids, more rarely axillae. This article describes 2 novel SRCHC cases of 71- and 66-year-old men and systematically reviews the literature on SRCHC. Of all cases reported in the literature, 73 (91.2%) were men and 7 (8.8%) were women. The median age at diagnosis was 71 years. Skin changes were located in the eyelids (68%) and axillae (32%). In all tested cases, SRCHC cells expressed CK7, CKAE1/AE3, EMA, CAM5.2, and AR and PIK3CA mutations. Future research should determine whether AR/PIK3CA-targeted therapies influence patients\' survival.

There are many articles in the literature on periorbital reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) or surgical excision, however, the literature lacks a comprehensive systematic review of these reports. We performed a systematic review of published data on periorbital defect reconstruction to identify trends in the literature. A comprehensive search of eight databases was performed. To be included in the study, articles had to be published in English between 2005 and 2020 and contain repair data for MMS or excision defects in the periorbital region. Studies with less than four patients, literature or systematic reviews, and abstract-only publications were excluded. Data extracted from eligible articles included the authors\' medical specialties, study design, subject number and demographics, defect characteristics, procedure type, reconstructive methods, complications, outcome measures, and method of outcome assessment. 53 studies met the inclusion criteria. The first and last authors\' specialties were ophthalmology (47%), plastic and reconstructive surgery (23%), dermatology (13%), otolaryngology (4%), or were multi-specialty collaborations (13%). Only 5 of the studies were prospective. Defects were located on the lower eyelid (55%), medial canthus (31%), upper eyelid (8%), lateral canthus (4%), or a combination of these sites (2%). Reconstructive methods were reported for 3678 cases and included linear repair (18%), advancement flap (8%), rotation flap (5%), transposition flap (3%), island pedicle flap (1%), unspecified local skin flap (21%), skin graft (23%), secondary intention (4%), tarsoconjunctival flap (3%), and combined reconstruction techniques (13%). Thirty-three of 53 articles specified the periorbital subunit for each reconstructive technique that was employed. Among these 33 articles which allowed for correlation between defect location and reconstructive technique, the most utilized repair method for lower eyelid defects was local skin flap. Defects on the upper eyelid or medial canthus were most frequently repaired with a skin graft. Forty articles commented on cosmetic outcomes, however, only 3 of these articles utilized a defined grading system, objective measurements, or independent reviewers to assess the cosmetic outcomes. The methods of reconstruction in this review were diverse, however, local skin flaps and grafts were the most utilized techniques. In future reports, increased reporting of reconstructive technique by defect location as well as increased use of standardized assessments of aesthetic outcomes can help strengthen this body of literature.

UNASSIGNED: Moll gland is a modified tubular-shaped apocrine sweat gland, which is located on the margin of the eyelid. Moll glands are also known as ciliary glands. The function of these glands was not well known for a long time. However, based on the different studies, it was proved that Moll glands are active from birth and have local immunologic function producing immunoglobulin A. We present a case of Moll adenocarcinoma, a type of apocrine carcinoma, arising from the right upper eyelid of a 57-year-old man. Although Moll gland cysts are frequently seen, this type of adnexal malignancy is extremely uncommon. These tumors can have variable presentation and behavior from less invasive forms to highly malignant metastatic recurrent lesions.

To determine the incidence, proportion and location of periocular tumours in an English county over a five year period, and compare to other studies in the UK and worldwide.
A retrospective review of histopathology reports was performed for all periocular excision biopsies of malignancies from the county\'s three main hospitals over a 5-year period. These hospitals cover a population of just over one million. Tumours were classified according to type and location.
1220 lesions were included in this study. Right-sided lesions were more common than left. The incidence of basal cell carcinoma was 22 per 100,000 and squamous cell carcinoma 1.3 per 100,000, which were found most commonly on the lower eyelid and eyebrow respectively. The incidences of all other types of lesions were less than 0.5 per 100,000 per year.
The incidence of periocular basal cell carcinomas in the predominantly elderly Caucasian population was at least three times the published national average. The high incidence of periocular tumours in this North East Anglian county is set to increase further as the proportion of over 65 year olds in the population is predicted to nearly double within two decades.

The goal of radiotherapy in the treatment of eyelid and ocular surface tumors is to eradicate tumor burden in a manner that maintains visual function and preserve surrounding sensitive ocular tissue. Interventional radiotherapy (IRT-brachytherapy) is a radiotherapy technique associated with a highly focal dose distribution, with the advantage of boosting limited size target volumes to very high dose while sparing normal tissue. The reduction in the ocular and adnexal complications that result from this form of therapy, has led in recent years, to an increase in the use of IRT for the treatment of eyelid and ocular surface tumors. For eyelid malignancies, IRT is used as an independent treatment in small eyelids tumors, in postoperative treatment of high-risk patients and as well as salvage therapy in local recurrences. In the treatment of conjunctival malignancies, due to the high risk of local recurrence, the use of adjuvant therapies as IRT has shown to improve outcomes. In this review, we focus on eyelid and ocular surface IRT techniques and provide an overview of indication, outcomes and toxicity of IRT for the treatment of naïve and recurrent eyelid and conjunctival tumors.
