Abstract:
In this article we present the histopathological picture of common eyelid and anterior segment diseases, and directly compare histological and correlating clinical features for each disease. In addition to common benign eyelid tumours and cysts, malignant tumours of the lid are shown. For example, in such cases the histopathological characteristics can illustrate why certain tumours require a closer follow-up. Slit-lamp examination results are compared to the histological picture of relevant corneal diseases, followed by affections of the iris and anterior chamber.
