Abstract

A total of 157 eyelid basal cell carcinomas were surgically excised during an 18-year period. All lesions were submitted for histologic examination to determine the adequacy of excision and 72% had frozen section evaluation at the time of surgery. Complete resection was attained in 97.5% of cases. There were no recurrences reported. Postoperative problems occurred in 8% of patients but all were corrected by secondary surgical procedures.
