Abstract
There are two types of eyelid tumors such as benign and malignant tumors. The common benign eyelid tumors include eyelid papilloma, calcified epithelioma, keratoacanthoma, adenoacanthoma, dermoid cyst, xanthoma, pigmented nevus, and hemangioma, while the common malignant tumors include basal cell carcinoma, meibomian gland carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and malignant lymphoma and malignant granuloma, and the sarcoma is rarely seen. The tumors occur mostly in the lower eyelid, especially in the eyelid margin and canthal corner. The surgical resection is the preferred method of treatment [1]. The malignant tumor patients with regional lymph node metastasis should undergo additionally regional lymph node dissection.
