Lesion Removed From First Lady Jill Biden’s Eyelid Non-Cancerous

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says a lesion removed by surgeons last week from first lady Jill Biden’s left eyelid was a non-cancerous growth.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, physician to President Joe Biden, said in a memo released Wednesday by the White House that a biopsy showed that the legion was seborrheic keratosis, a “very common, totally harmless, non-cancerous growth.”

Surgeons last week also removed a cancerous lesion above Jill Biden’s right eye and one on her chest.

Those lesions were both confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma, a common but curable form of cancer.
