    Purpos. Analysis of the frequency and structure of malignant neoplasms of eyelids in adult patients.

    Material and methods. A continuous sample of all operated eyelid neoplasms was carried out for 2018–2022.

    Results. A total of 1171 patients with various neoplasms of the eyelids underwent surgical treatment. Malignant neoplasms of the eyelids were detected in 150 patients (12.8%). Their age ranges from 32 to 87 years. Localization: lower eyelid — 107 cases (71.3%), upper eyelid — 19 patients, inner canthus — 22, outer angle — 2. Basal cell carcinoma — 143 cases (95.3%), squamous cell carcinoma — 4 cases (2.6%), metatypical cancer — in one patient, eyelid skin melanoma — in two patient (1.3%). According to the classification: T1 — 54 patients, T2 — 65 patients, T3 — 28 patients, T4 stage — 3 patients. In 31 patients with T3 and T4 stages, the tumor infiltrated the underlying tissues. All patients with malignant neoplasms underwent excision of the tumor using radiosurgical technology, followed by reconstructive blepharoplasty. In all cases, it was possible to perform excisions in the planned volume.

    Conclusion. In the general structure of neoplasms of the eyelids, the proportion of malignant neoplasms was 12.8%; their localization in the lower eyelid prevailed — 71.3%. The vast majority of malignant neoplasms of the eyelids was basal cell carcinoma — 95.3%.

    Key words: malignant neoplasms of eyelids, basal cell carcinoma, tumor excision
