Lid tumors can develop from different structures of the eyelid and, therefore, show a wide spectrum of clinical findings. If a malignant process is suspected or the clinical diagnosis cannot be unequivocally determined, a biopsy (incisional vs. excisional) is necessary followed by histologic evaluation. Furthermore, inadequately treated benign lesions, such as an incomplete excised nevus or a molluscum contagiosum, can lead to serious problems.
