title: Malignant melanomas of eyelid skin.
abstract: Four cases of malignant melanoma of eyelid skin are reported. Management of the condition is discussed, with a review of the literature. The conclusions lead us to recommend wide surgical excision for those melanomas arising on the lash margins. If the melanoma is clear of the eyelid margin, smaller margins may be adequate.
