“…Tumours of the eyelids can either arise from specific anatomical features of the eyelids, such as the meibomian glands or Moll's glands, or from the skin or the ocular adnexa [1]. They can also be an extension of an ocular or orbital tumour or secondary to a process elsewhere in the body, such as a malignant lymphoma or a reactive process [15].…”

Space-occupying processes in the eyelids can either be due to lesions which are specific for the eyelids, such as a chalazion or a meibomian carcinoma, or to non-specific lesions of the skin or ocular adnexa. An incorrect interpretation on clinical or histological grounds is often made; in other words, some eyelid processes masquerade as others. The correct diagnosis should be made on the basis of case history, localisation, the appearance of the tumour and the histological findings, so that adequate treatment can be given. One must be aware of the danger of mistaking one space-occupying process for another. In the Leiden Ophthalmological Clinic a study was made of the incidence of eyelid tumours in the period 1981-1987, with special attention to the most important masquerade phenomena observed. In a group of 956 eyelid tumours histological examination was necessary in 126 cases. Basal-cell carcinoma was the most frequent diagnosis, but other less common tumours such as a trichilemmoma, an eosinophilic granuloma, a haemangio-endothelioma, a metastasis from a mammary carcinoma and a granuloma annulare were also diagnosed.

“…Tumors of the eyelids, benign or malignant can either arise from specific anatomical structures like Meibomian and Moll's glands, tarsal plate or from the skin and ocular adnexa. [ 1 ] Effective management of malignant tumors requires scrupulous attention to the completeness of removal. Conversely, the much rarer benign hair follicle tumors of the eyelids may be safely excised with a narrow margin of clearance.…”

Benign eyelid tumors derived from hair follicles are rare and frequently misdiagnosed as basal-cell carcinoma when evaluation is based on clinical evidence alone. The discrepancy between the clinical aspect and the histological diagnosis can be as high as 30–40%, even for experienced clinicians. Unfortunately, this masquerade is not only clinical but also histological. Patients may be subjected to unnecessarily extensive surgery. We present a case report of three patients clinically diagnosed as malignancy but histopathologically proven as benign hair follicle tumors.
