Types of malignant eyelid lesions
Ultrasound imaging can help determine the composition of lump, distinguishing between a cyst and a tumour. Also known as sonography, it involves the use of high-frequency, real-time sound waves to create an image. A small transducer (probe) both transmits sound waves into the body and records the waves that echo back.
It occurs along the margin of the eyelid that has been infected by some bacteria named staphylococcus. This infection clogs the oil glands of the eye. This will result to pus-filled bumps on the eyelid. The pus will then come out leaving behind an open wound or sore.
An eyelid lesion is a pathological change in the tissue of the eyelid. There are many types of lesions, most of which are benign or harmless. However, some lesions may be malignant or cancerous. This section focuses on benign lesions. An eyelid lesion may be pigmented or colored.
Benign eyelid lesions are excised in full and ocular reconstruction performed using direct closure, flaps or grafts. Malignant tumors may require adjuvant treatment with either radiotherapy or chemotherapy after excision, depending on the diagnosis.

An eyelid papilloma is a rounded growth that protrudes from the upper or lower eyelid. These are very common lesions that most frequently develop in middle-aged and older patients. Papillomas are most often benign, but in rare cases may be precancerous or malignant.
Sebaceous Cysts: These cysts differ from other eye cysts as they occur anywhere on the body. They are derived from sebaceous glands in the skin and are filled with sebaceous material (sebum). They are generally found in locations with many hair follicles, particularly the brow area and eye skin folds around the eye.
Eyelid tumors are very similar to skin tumors except they form on the upper or lower eyelids. They can be non-invasive (benign) or invasive (malignant). Common benign eyelid tumors are: Nevus — These are freckles with or without color that form on the eyelid or eyelid margin.

A skin lesion is a part of the skin that has an abnormal growth or appearance compared to the skin around it. Two categories of skin lesions exist: primary and secondary. Primary skin lesions are abnormal skin conditions present at birth or acquired over a person's lifetime.
A macule is a flat, distinct, discolored area of skin. It usually does not include a change in skin texture or thickness. The skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin and its derivatives (hair, nails, sweat and oil glands) make up the integumentary system. One of the main functions of the skin is protection.
Answer: Milia are pin-head sized white bumps on the face, often around the eyes. They are tiny cysts caused by "clogged oil glands" and are distantly related to the tendency for acne. Using greasy creams can create milia, but most often they come and go for unknown reasons.
Xanthelasma are yellow growths on or near the eyelids. They can be flat or slightly raised. They form when deposits of cholesterol (lipid or fat) build up under the skin. While xanthelasma themselves are not harmful, they can be a sign of heart disease.
Patients with basal cell carcinomas most commonly notice a reddish nodule slowly forming on their eyelid. The tumor is most commonly found on the lower eyelid, followed by the medial canthus (skin toward the nose) and can occur on the upper eyelid.
Pathologic condition of either of the two movable folds (upper and lower) that protect the anterior surface of the eyeball or eyelid. Your eyelids help protect your eyes. When you blink, your eyelids spread moisture over your eyes. Blinking also helps move dirt or other particles off the surface of the eye.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
