Palpebral tumors
Palpebral tumors are those that appear around the eyelid. They are very frequent, although in most cases they are benign.
If the tumor is malignant, it will be necessary to see a specialist for treatment as soon as possible. This treatment consists of resection of the tumor through surgery, which sometimes involves the removal of an important part of the eyelid.
