Abstract
All cases of suspected lid tumors should undergo biopsy and histopathologic confirmation. The type of biopsy depends on the clinical evaluation of the lid mass and may range from a simple incision biopsy to a complex frozen section and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). In this chapter, we discuss the different biopsy techniques and their indication.
