Abstract:
A study was made on 72 cases of skin tumor and tumorous conditions of the eyelid and periorbita,l areas which were obtained as surgical pathology specimens during the period. of 5 years and 8 months from January, 1977 to August, 1982, at Department of Dermatology, Chosun University Hospital. The results were as follows. Of the 72 cases of skin tumor and tumorous conditions, 65 cases (90. 5%) were benign, and 7 cases (9. 7%) were malignant. The ratio of male vs. female was 1: 3. 6 for benign tumorous conditions and 6: 1 for malignant tumors. The peak age incidence for benign tumorous conditions were at the 3rd decade (R6. 9%). The peak age incidence for malignant tumors were at the R rd decade (28. 6%) and above the 7 the decade (28. 6%). The benign tumorous conditions were 21 cases (82. S%) of syringoma, 21 cases (82. 3%) of pigmented nevus, 6 cases (9. 2%) of epidermal cyst and 5 cases (7. 7%) of xanthelasma. The malignant tumors were R cases (42. 9%) of squamous cell carcinoma, 2 cases (28. 6,.) of basal cell epithelioma and 2 cases (28. 6%) of malignant melanoma. The predilection sites of the benign tumorous conditions were lower eyelid and inferior periorhital area (59. 1%). The predilection sites of the malignant t:umors were lower eyelid and inferior periorbital area (42. 9%).
