Intratarsal Keratinous Cysts of the Meibomian Gland: Distinctive Clinicopathologic and Immunohistochemical Features in 6 Cases
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 10/30/09
Jakobiec FA et al. – After chalazia and sebaceous cell tumors, Meibomian gland keratinous cysts seem to be the third most common primary intratarsal lesion. Anterior fixation to the tarsus and posterior protrusion beneath the palpebral conjunctiva without inflammation suggest the diagnosis. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluations can distinguish unequivocally the current entity from common epidermal cysts. The optimal treatment consists of an en bloc excision of the cyst with a tarsectomy, or else wide excision with intratarsal cautery of any remnants of the cellular lining.
