Recurrent chalazion may be associated with bad lid hygiene but can have clinical changes which lead to the suspicion of a more dangerous entity. Particularly in elderly patients, recurrence of chalazion should be suspected to have carcinomatous changes. We present the case of a 52-year-old woman with presentation of recurrent chalazion which turned out to be sebaceous gland carcinoma of the lid. Sebaceous gland carcinoma usually presents as a small firm nodule resembling chalazion, and majority of the premalignant and malignant lesions misdiagnosed as chalazion are primary cases. Hence, the need of histopathological examination in every such case cannot be undermined.
复发性睑板腺囊肿可能与眼睑卫生不良有关，但可能出现一些临床变化，从而引发对更危险病变的怀疑。特别是在老年患者中，复发性睑板腺囊肿应怀疑有癌变。我们报告一例52岁女性，其表现为复发性睑板腺囊肿，结果被诊断为眼睑皮脂腺癌。皮脂腺癌通常表现为类似睑板腺囊肿的小而硬的结节，大多数被误诊为睑板腺囊肿的癌前和恶性病变都是原发性病例。因此，在每一例此类病例中进行组织病理学检查的必要性不可忽视。
