Eyelid Lumps

Eyelid lumps and bumps around the eye are very common. Many resolve spontaneously, such as a blocked oil gland (Chalazion). Any lump under the eyelid that persists, enlarges, or discharges should be checked to rule out anything serious. Patients who are fair-skinned or who have a history of rodent ulcers or basal cell carcinomas, need to use extra caution.

What are the symptoms of eyelid lumps?

Eyelid lumps can be painless or painful. They can be any colour; skin coloured, yellow, white, black, red. Lumps on the eyelid can discharge or bleed. They can be itchy. They can grow quickly or very slowly.

What is the treatment for eyelid lumps?

The treatment for eyelid lumps depends on the likely diagnosis. Many simple cysts on eyelids spontaneously discharge. Some will require draining. Any suspicious or unusual eyelid lumps will prompt a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. If the eyelid lump proves to be cancerous your consultant will discuss all the options with you. Most eyelid cancers are treatable.

What are the leading causes of eyelid lumps?

The causes of eyelid lumps can vary; however, the main causes are usually one of the following:

• Chalazion

• Stye

• Cyst

• Xanthelasma

If you are concerned about any form of eyelid lump that you are experiencing, it’s best to contact a chalazion ophthalmologist for a consultation.
