Material and methods: Cases presenting to the department of Oculoplastics and Orbital Diseases was done at Sarojini Devi eye hospital, Hyderabad were studied over a period of three years. We analysed and followed 85 histologically proven cases of malignant eye lid tumours during this period. Benign lesions were excluded from the study. In results Females were more commonly affected and people in fifth and seventh decades of life were predominantly affected. Sebaceous cell carcinoma (SbCC) was the commonest tumour accounting for 67.05%, Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) for 27.05% and squamous cell carcinoma of lid occurred least frequently. Most of the cases were successfully treated surgically (82 out of 85) by a margin clearance of 4-6mm.The significance of these observations is discussed.
