title: Lid lesions of childhood: a histopathologic survey at the Wilmer Institute (1923-1974).
abstract: This study reports 398 excised eyelid lesions in 385 children from birth through age 15. This study analyzes and discusses the clinical and histological features of the 34 types of lesions which were encountered. This tabulation serves as a guide to the physician when confronted with lid lesions in children as to the types of lesions which may be found. More importantly, however, this study is the first comprehensive clinco-pathologic evaluation of eyelid lesions in children, a topic which had previously been written and discussed in a fragmentary manner. This study analyzes data from the Wilmer Institute during 1923-1974.
