We retrospectively reviewed the clinical features and outcome of benign and malignant eyelid tumors from 1995 to 2015 in a tertiary medical center. Among 4,521 histologically confirmed eyelid tumors, 4,294 (95.0%) were benign tumors and 227 (5.0%) were malignant tumors. The mean age at diagnosis was significantly higher in patients with malignant lid tumors than those with benign lid tumors (72...

The objective of this study was to analyze the significance and potential value of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in salivary gland tumors. We found that expression of HSP60, HSP70, HSP86 and HSP84 were all upregulated in both salivary gland benign tumors and malignant tumors, and that the expression of HSP70, HSP86 and HSP84 was more greatly overexpressed in the malignant tumors (each P<0.01). For...
