Clinicopathological analysis of recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid

Abstract: Introduction Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the eyelids and surrounding structures, usually developing in the area of the lower lid and medial canthus. Invasive forms of BCC are connected with a high risk of recurrence, often due to incomplete excision of these lesions.

“…The location was the medial canthus of the eye in the examined group in 47.3% of the overall number of periocular area tumors operated on. The results of these examinations are compliant with the observations published by Ilijn et al 6,10,13 An analysis of our own material shows that the largest group were the cancers with diameters ranging from 10 to 20 mm and classified as T 2 or T 3 according to the UICC classification. This may result from the characteristics of the patients who qualified for surgical treatment at the Department.…”

“…In the analyzed group of patients operated on at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Frederic Chopin Clinical Regional Hospital in Rzeszów, the dominant group were patients aged over 60 years, which is in accordance with the epidemiological data published by other authors and regarding not only primary cancers, but also the recurrence of facial skin malignant cancers. 13,14 The most frequently histologically diagnosed eyelid skin cancer in the examined group was BCC, which occurred in 81.4% of patients. A similar frequency of occurrence was noted by Spiteri and McCormick, as well as Allali et al 1,15 Among the excised BCCs, the most often diagnosed form were the nodular and cystic variations, which were found in 38.0% of patients.…”
