“…Globally, skin tumour remains a major public health threat [15,16]. Despite the use of sunscreen, cases of BCC continue to develop in the eyelids, mainly in the lower lid compared to the upper lid due to not being protected by eyebrow [17].…”

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant eyelid tumour encountered by oculoplastic surgeons (ophthalmologists), contributing significantly to morbidity. The objective of this study was to assess awareness levels and knowledge among healthcare professionals and the general public, regarding eyelid BCC, with a specific focus on the following areas: risk factors, prevention habits and pharmaceutical counseling. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was employed for data collection. Anonymous surveys were distributed to two distinct groups: healthcare professionals (comprising physicians, pharmacists, and pharmacy students) and members of the general community in Setúbal. Data collection took place on a single day for each of these two groups. Results: The study encompassed 201 participants, consisting of 155 (77.1%) females (mean age = 42 years-old), and 44 (21.9%) males (mean age = 46 years-old). The survey revealed that 55.2% of respondents were unaware of the typical location of eyelid BCC. Furthermore, the majority of participants expressed consensus on the importance of applying sunscreen as a preventive measure. Conclusion: The study underscores the necessity for enhanced efforts in preventing eyelid BCC, emphasizing the crucial role of implementing protocols and educational initiatives targeting both healthcare professionals and the general public. These measures are essential to raise awareness, facilitate early detection, and enhance the management of eyelid BCC cases.

SummaryThe aim of the study was to readdress basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the periocular region to prove the efficacy of histologically controlled surgical treatment and to identify high-risk characteristics.Retrospective analysis of 451 microscopically controlled BCC excisions in the periocular region. Tumor location, tumor size, AJCC 7 classification, and histological results were recorded. The same procedure was followed for recurrences.A recurrence rate of 5.0% was observed after the first microscopically controlled excision. Recurrent BCCs show a shift from nodular to sclerosing BCC as the primary histological type as well as a change in primary location from lower eyelid to medial canthus. The frequency of BCC with deep extension increased from 7.3% to 24.7%, and 57.1% after the second and third operations, respectively. The recurrence rate increased to 9.5% and 42.9%, after the second and third operations, respectively.In conclusion, we are facing the same challenges in surgical BCC treatment as 30 years ago. The distribution of periocular BCC location, histologic subtype and recurrence rates mirror the literature und the general consensus. The recurrence rate increases with every operation needed. Sclerosing BCCs with deep extension at the medial canthus bear the greatest risk for recurrence. In such cases, centers of expertise should be consulted and additional treatment options should be considered.
