Abstract

On histopathological examination it was diagnosed as well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. To the best of authors knowledge no such case has previously been reported in literature.

Conclusion: This report highlights the need of histopathological diagnosis of all lid lesions to prognosticate the disease.
