Elderly people with bulging bags at the corners of their eyes may be related to blepharocysts, blepharitis, and sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid.
1. Blepharophalangeal cyst: Blepharophalangeal cyst is caused by the obstruction of the outlet of the blepharophalangeal gland, which leads to the retention of glandular secretion in the lid and stimulates the surrounding tissues to proliferate. Blepharophimosis is associated with chronic conjunctivitis, blepharitis and other causes, but also with the patient’s blepharophimosis gland secretion function, the patient’s eyelids can form painless eyelid swelling.
2. Blepharitis: Blepharitis refers to suppurative inflammation of the eyelid glands. Under the stimulation of inflammation, patients may experience redness, swelling, pain and other discomforts of the eyelids.
3. Eyelid sebaceous gland carcinoma: Eyelid sebaceous gland carcinoma is a malignant tumor originated from the sebaceous glands of the levator ani and eyelashes. Patients may have small subcutaneous nodules in the eyelid in the early stage, which is easy to be misdiagnosed as levator ani cysts, and then it may gradually increase in size and make the eyelid thickened diffusely.
It is recommended that patients with bulging eyes and other discomforts should consult the hospital in time to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
