Q

malignant tumor

A
  • A malignant tumor can metastasize into lymph nodes & distant organs
  • if untreated, may kill the patient wherever it occurs.
  • infiltrates the surrounding tissue.
  • when is excised, it may recur.
  • a malignant tumor grows more rapidly than a benign tumor.

Q

Benign tumor

A
  • Usually a benign tumor may only cause death if it happens to grow in a vital organ.
  • grows by expansion and is usually separated from the surrounding tissue by a capsule.
  • if removed, it usually does not recur.

    -Older patients
    -FHX of skin cancers
    -Fair-complexion pts.
    -Acute vs. chronic onset & duration
    -Rapid or irregular growth patterns

Q

Neoplastic Considerations - Assessment / DDX and Plan/TX

A
  • With serious doubt or suspicion regarding any lump or bump of the lid, recommend excision and biopsy
