目的:比较尼日利亚伊布人中黑人和白化病人眼睑鳞状上皮细胞癌的发病情况.方法:回顾分析过去30a经由组织病理学证明为眼睑鳞状上皮细胞癌的实验室记录.结果:本研究共包括7例患者,其中3例为男性白化病人,年龄由16～39岁;4例男性黑人,年龄由40～60岁.很明显,白化病人眼睑上皮细胞癌的发病年龄较黑人患者要年轻得多.结论:众所周知,眼睑鳞状上皮细胞癌多发生于老年的白人患者,而在尼日利亚白化病人中的发病年龄明显年轻.这一结论有待于世界其他日光照射较强地区的研究进一步证实.%· AIM: To compare squamous cell carcinomas of the eyelids in albinos and blacks among the Ibos of Nigeria.· METHODS: The records of histologically proven squamous cell carcinomas of the eyelids over a period of 30a in a reference laboratory were reviewed.· RESULTS: Seven patients were enrolled, including 3male albinos aging from 16 to 39 years, and 4 male blacks aging from 40 to 60 years. Clearly, the carcinomas tend to occur in much younger Ibo albinos than in their black counterparts.· CONCLUSION: As it is known that squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid occurs most commonly in elderly,Caucasians, this Nigerian study shows that much younger patients are involved when their complexion is albinism.This conclusion is open to be confirmed or confuted in studies in other sunny parts of the world.
