Eyelid Biopsies
The eyelid is common ground for skin cancer and difficult ground for surgery: the skin is thin, the margin for error is small, and the cosmetic and functional stakes are high. It is also territory our surgeons know well, because eyelid skin cancers are regularly referred for Mohs surgery.
An eyelid biopsy is a brief office procedure under local anesthetic that samples a suspicious lesion so pathology can give an answer. If cancer is found, treatment can proceed with the same team, with margin control and reconstruction planned together.
