Melanoma in situ of eyelid, including canthus - what does this mean

Melanoma in situ of the eyelid, including the canthus, is a type of skin cancer that occurs when cells in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) grow abnormally and form a tumor. it typically presents as a dark, pigmented lesion on the eyelid or canthus area and can be diagnosed with a biopsy. early detection and treatment are essential for successful outcomes.

What happens during the disease - melanoma in situ of eyelid, including canthus

Melanoma in situ of the eyelid, including the canthus, is caused by a mutation of the melanocytes, which are the cells that produce the pigment melanin in the skin. this mutation causes the melanocytes to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a lesion on the eyelid. the lesion may be flat or slightly raised, and may be brown, black, or blue in color. it is important to note that melanoma in situ of the eyelid is considered a precancerous condition, and may eventually progress to invasive melanoma if left untreated.
