Purpose: To describe the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of eyelid tumors in children in southern Taiwan.
Methods: Patients younger than 17 years old with histologically confirmed eyelid tumors treated at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Kaohsiung) during 1991-2000 were subjected to a retrospective analysis. Patients with inflammation, granulation, hordeolum, chalazion and orbital or conjunctival extension were excluded.
Results: Totally, 78 patients (46 boys and 31 girls) with eyelid tumors were included. The 4 most common tumors, in order of frequency, were epidermal cysts (23.1%), dermoid cysts (17.9%), squamous cell papillomas (11.5%), and compound nevi (9%). Recurrence was noted in only 1 case (of a ductal cyst) after surgical excision during the 3-year follow-up period.
Conclusions: Epithelial tumors and dermoid cysts are the most common eyelid tumors of children in southern Taiwan. Surgical excision produced good results. Malignant eyelid tumors are rare in children.

Purpose: Eyelid infiltrative basal cell carcinoma (iBCC) is the most common malignant tumor affecting the ocular adnexa, but studies on metabolic changes within its microenvironment and heterogeneity at the tumor invasive area are limited. This study aims to analyze metabolic differences among iBCC cell types using single-cell and spatial metabolomics analysis and to examine metabolic environment at the tumor invasive area.
Methods: Single-cell transcriptomic data of human basal cell carcinoma (BCC) were clustered and visualized using Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection.

Article Synopsis
- Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare skin cancer that primarily develops from eccrine sweat glands, commonly appearing on the head and neck of older adults and often exhibiting slow growth.
- Although it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, PCMC has a high rate of recurrence, making early and accurate diagnosis through biopsy crucial.
- A case study of a 77-year-old man highlighted the challenges in diagnosing PCMC, leading to surgical removal and further treatment, ultimately resulting in no signs of recurrence one year later.
