Abstract

  Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelids is a rare malignancy. Most cases require excision followed by eyelid reconstruction. Reconstruction of the eyelids after tumor removal remains one of the most challenging tasks. We report a case who developed tumor from the Meibomian glands of the upper eyelid. Excision of the tumor was done and reconstruction was done using a chondromucosal septal graft. The graft was procured and sutured in the place of excised tarsal plate on the upper eyelid. Anterior lamella of the eyelid was intact. We did not encounter flap necrosis, dehiscence, infection, ectropion, recurrence or irregular eyelid margins. Various techniques of eyelid reconstruction, their advantages and disadvantages have been reviewed.
