Abstract EN
The eyelid tumors are rare neoplasms in head and neck oncological practice.
The maximum incidence is after sixty years and most of the tumors are situated in the lower eyelid and medial canthus.
A wide range of clinical presentations contribute to a high risk of misdiagnosis.
The factors such as very large lesions, incomplete excision, histopathologic features such as poor differentiation, multicentric origin, pagetoid spread, and delayed diagnosis are associated with poor prognosis.
Because of different tissues at eyelid level, a variety of tumor types and subtypes can arise, but most of them are carcinomas.
A rare case of eyelid carcinoma spreading and engulfing the whole of globe which was treated by orbital exenteration and postoperative radiotherapy is presented with a disease-free follow-up of 10 months which, considering its size, is extremely rare.
The early diagnosis and proper treatment of such rare tumors still remain the mainstay to predict favourable prognosis.
