Abstract
Eyelid lesions, ranging from benign to malignant, are common in ophthalmic practice. The eyelid's complex anatomy and overlapping clinical features between benign and malignant lesions make diagnosis challenging. This study evaluates the prevalence, clinical presentation, management and outcomes of benign eyelid lesions in a tertiary care teaching hospital over one year. This study involved 50 patients aged 20 to 80 years with clinically suspected benign eyelid lesions. Patients underwent detailed history‐taking and slit‐lamp examinations. Surgical treatments, including incision and curettage, excision and electro cautery, were performed. Excised tissues were histopathologically examined to confirm diagnosis. Patients were followed up at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months to monitor healing, symptom resolution and recurrence. Chalazion was the most prevalent lesion (28.6%), followed by squamous papilloma (12.2%) and epidermal inclusion cysts (8.2%). Lesions like xanthelasma and seborrheic kurtosis were more common in females. Surgical management was successful with minimal complications. Histopathology confirmed all lesions as benign, with a low recurrence rate during follow‐up. Benign eyelid lesions are prevalent and effectively managed with surgical intervention. However, distinguishing them from malignant lesions clinically remains challenging. Early biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes in a tertiary care setting
