What is Malignant Eyelid Tumours?
The most common malignant lesion of the eyelids and surrounding area is a Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). 90% of all basal cell carcinomas occur on the face, with 10% affecting the eye region, most commonly the lower eyelids.
Basal cell carcinomas can present in a variety of ways but most often there is either a firm lump (nodular BCC) or an area of skin that intermittently bleeds and never completely heals up (ulcerative BCC). Growth tends to be slow over many months or years.
Management
There are many ways to treat a BCC e.g. topical creams, radiotherapy, cryotherapy but surgical removal is the best option in most cases. Oculoplastic surgeons are trained to advise on the management of these lesions and tailor the treatment depending on many factors including the size and location of the tumour.
