There was no history of trauma, any mass elsewhere in the body or any previous operative intervention. It was
diagnosed as a giant chalazion and operated as usual ; incision drainage and curettage . After 3 months post
operative,there was a tumor mass at the same place of the same lid.Clinical diagnosis this time was meibomian
gland carcinoma. It was excised as a malignancy and reconstruction was done. Hitoplathologyexamination with
H&D stain confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
