Basal cell carcinoma
Malignant tumor of the eyelid that presents with nodular and plaquelike lesions with irregular edges, and chronic scarring.
Squamous cell carcinoma
Neoplasm that arises from the sebaceous glands and can pre sent as a chronic unilateral blepharoconjunctivitis.
It should be considered in any el derly patient with unilateral bleph-
