Abstract

Eyelid malposition in cancer patients encompasses a variety of conditions, including ectropion, entropion, ptosis, eyelid retraction, and eyelid malposition due to periorbital edema. Ectropion is by far the most commonly encountered form of eyelid malposition in cancer patients. In some situations, the eyelid abnormality is the presenting sign of an underlying malignancy, but most often, it is the result of therapeutic interventions for cancer.
