Basal cell carcinoma of the eye
 Basal Cell Carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that frequently occurs at the eyelid margins, at the inner corner of the eyes, and on the upper cheeks. A doctor bases the diagnosis on the results of a biopsy (removal of a tissue sample for examination under a microscope). The growth is usually removed surgically. A growth on the eyelid that persists for weeks should be removed and examined under a microscope (biopsied) to exclude cancer.
