Need a little help: Unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin

I was recently diagnosed with: "Unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin of left eyelid, including canthus".  I am not sure what that means.  I have a brown spot on my lower eyelid at the eyelash line, that grew somewhat rapidly.  My Ophthalmologist performed the biopsy and I have the entire spot scheduled to be removed on 12/20. 

Two questions: 

1. Does unspecified mean it could have metastasized from somewhere else?

 2. Should I see an Oncologist?  My Ophthalmologist did not refer me to anyone and is going to remove the spot.

 Any help with these two questions would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank You,
