Lesion removed from Jill Biden's eyelid was non-cancerous

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 Biden, said Wednesday.

O'Connor said in a memo released 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.
