Periocular soft tissue masses continue to remain major cosmetic blemish in young individuals. this mimic malignancy in elderly. Hence early detection and treatment is essential. Most of the swellings require surgical intervention. Very few treated by medical intervention alone. Benign epithelial lesions, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cystic lesions, and melanocytic lesions represent about 85% of all eyelid tumors.[1] Dermoid cysts are congenital lesions that arise from nondisjunction of surface ectoderm from deeper neuroectodermal structures.[2]In the Asian–Indian population, eyelid SGC is a relatively common eyelid malignancy accounting for 28–60% cases of all eyelid malignancies[3] Eyelid SGC is an aggressive tumour causing metastasis related mortality in 3–41% [4]
