Eyelid Tumors

Eyelid tumors are abnormal growths that can develop on the eyelid, which is the skin that covers and protects the eye. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common types include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which often appear as changes in the skin, such as bumps or sores. Symptoms may include irritation, swelling, or changes in appearance. Early detection is crucial, as treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of the tumor. Consultation with an ophthalmologist or a specialist in ophthalmic oncology is important for proper diagnosis and management.
