Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent skin cancer1. This carcinomas are the most frequent skin cancers in the fair-skinned adult population over 50 years of age. We report a case of a 90-year-old women that presented to the clinic with a pediculated wart in the left lower eyelid. The physical exploration revealed an exofitic lesion, brown color, with 2 cm in diameter and irregular edges. A full-thickness resection of the lesion was made with a margin of 0.5 cm and without impairing the left lower eyelid or the canthus using a Mustardé flap as the surgical technique for reconstruction. The biopsy report revealed a basal-cell carcinoma with clear margins. A one-month postoperative follow up showed no complications. This technique offers an excellent option for reconstruction of lower eyelid related defects due to its simplicity and good aesthetic results. Keywords: Mustardé flap, basal cell carcinoma, eyelid reconstruction. |
