Which of the following is the MOST common tumour of lower eyelid?
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) arises from pluripotent stem cells within the basal layers of the epidermis and external root sheaths of hair follicles. It comprises about 90% of all eyelid malignancies. The incidence of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid skin increases with age and there is a slight male preponderance. Clinically, it typically manifests as a firm painless indurated nodule with a pearly, rolled border and fine (small) telangiectatic surface vessels. 65% of cases occur in the lower eyelid. Treatment consists of complete surgical excision. Ref: Vagefi M., Sullivan J.H., Correa Z.M., Augsburger J.J. (2011). Chapter 4. Lids & Lacrimal Apparatus. In P. Riordan-Eva, E.T.
