TUMORS OF THE EYELIDS 509 



Epitheliomata, sarcomata, carcinomata, and tuberculomata 

 are the ones most often observed. 



Diagnosis.— A diagnosis is made partly on the character 

 of the growth and finally by microscopic examination. 



Treatment.— Complete excision of the tumor should be 

 attempted as early as possible. When the entire eyelid is 

 involved treatment is of very little value. A recurrence of 

 the tumors is liable to occur after operation. In removing 

 the tumor as much as possible of the eyelid should be saved.
