The eyelids are composed of four layers: skin and subcutaneous tissue including
its adnexa, striated muscle, tarsus with the meibomian glands, and the palpebral
conjunctiva. Benign and malignant tumors can arise from each of the eyelid
layers. Most eyelid tumors are of cutaneous origin, mostly epidermal, which can
be divided into epithelial and melanocytic tumors. Benign epithelial lesions,
cystic lesions, and benign melanocytic lesions are very common. The most common
malignant eyelid tumors are basal cell carcinoma in Caucasians and sebaceous
gland carcinoma in Asians. Adnexal and stromal tumors are less frequent. The
present review describes the more important eyelid tumors according to the
following groups: Benign and malignant epithelial tumors, benign and malignant
melanocytic tumors, benign and malignant adnexal tumors, stromal eyelid tumors,
lymphoproliferative and metastatic tumors, other rare eyelid tumors, and
inflammatory and infections lesions that simulate neoplasms.
