The Management of Meibomian Gland Carcinoma

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1982
SUMMARY We present nine cases of sebaceous adenocarcinoma seen on the Oculoplastic Service at the University of Iowa over the past five years. It is essential to make the biopsy-proven diagnosis of meibomian gland adenocarcinoma promptly, using multiple full thickness eyelid biopsies.

Androgen Regulation of the Meibomian Gland

1998
Androgens are known to control the development, differentiation and lipid production of sebaceous glands throughout the body.1 Given that the meibomian gland is a large sebaceous gland,1,2 we hypothesize that androgens may regulate meibomian gland function, enhance the quality and quantity of lipids produced by this tissue and stimulate the formation ...

Prevalence of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Optometry and Vision Science, 1990
ABSTRACT This study was performed to determine the prevalence of Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and to determine which patient profile factors might be associated with the syndrome. Patients were randomly selected, apparently normal patients presenting for routine vision examinations.

Cystic Degeneration of the Meibomian Glands

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1959
Relatively little attention has been given to the histopathologic alterations of the Meibomian glands, despite their functional importance and recognized participation in a large group of ocular disorders. Even this limited consideration has been focused on the tumors that may arise from these unique glandular structures, and very little emphasis has ...

Histopathology of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982
We conducted a histopathologic study of he meibomian glands of seven patients (all men, ranging in age from 58 to 83 years) who had severe or moderately severe meibomian dysfunction and who were undergoing ectropion or entropion repair. Abnormal features included signs of obstruction and dilatation of ducts, enlargement of acini with cystic ...

The Lipid Secretion of the Meibomian Glands

1987
Publisher Summary The outer surface of mammalian skin and hair is covered by the lipid secretion of the sebaceous glands; in birds, this function is fulfilled by the secretion of the large uropygeal or preen gland, sebaceous glands are numerous around all body apertures, and might be modified in form or nature of secretion to suit the special ...

Meibomian Gland Structure in Participants with and Without Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Annals of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences
The purpose of this clinical study was to use rigorous clinical criteria to diagnose Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and perform meibography to evaluate differences in meibomian gland structure compared with non-MGD participants.
