Review finds eyelid tumors that spread often resembled harmless growths

This human systematic review combined 73 published case reports and case series involving 95 people with biopsy-confirmed cancer spread to the eyelid. Breast cancer was the most frequent original cancer, and about two-thirds of documented preoperative impressions were benign diagnoses. The findings describe reported patterns, but they do not show how often eyelid lesions are metastatic in the general population.
