[Palpebral nodule with focal madarosis: neoplasm or chalazion? Apropos of a case].
A palpebral tumor associated with focal madarosis and no improvement to medical treatment may suggest a malignant neoplasm. Surgical excision of such a lesion was performed in a 56-year-old male and the histopathologic examination revealed a chalazion. Many similar clinical aspects between palpebral neoplasms and chalazions as well as a high frequency of chalazions secondary to palpebral neoplasms justify surgical excision with an obligatory histopathologic examination.
