Erripi K, Paussen D, Svedberg K. Results of Mohs' Micrographic Surgery of Periocular Basal Cell Carcinoma: The Swedish Experience. Acta Derm Venereol 2024; 104:15765. [PMID: 38566404 PMCID: PMC11000588 DOI: 10.2340/actadv.v104.15765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The Department of Ophthalmology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, has until recently been the only eye clinic in the Nordic countries to perform Mohs' micrographic surgery of basal cell carcinoma. This has led to the practice of only the most complicated basal cell carcinomas being operated on with this technique. The purpose of this study was to present the results of these surgeries in patients with at least 5 years of follow-up. A retrospective study of all patients operated upon in 2010-2015 was performed. Data were gathered from their medical charts. Primary outcome was recurrence of basal cell carcinoma. One-hundred and sixty-seven patients were operated on. Mohs' micrographic surgery was used for tumours that were judged as highly aggressive on preoperative biopsy, had ill-defined borders, had recurred after previous surgery, or a combination of these factors. Nine recurrences (5.4% of all radical Mohs' micrographic surgeries) were diagnosed after a mean postoperative time of 37 months (4-84 months). Interestingly, all of these 9 recurrences after Mohs' micrographic surgery were in patients who had such surgery because of a recurrent basal cell carcinoma to start with. Good results can be achieved when operating on the most complicated periocular basal cell carcinomas with Mohs' micrographic surgery but special care has to be taken to ensure radical borders when operating on recurring basal cell carcinomas.

Management of periocular keratinocyte carcinomas with Mohs micrographic surgery and predictors of complex reconstruction: a retrospective study. An Bras Dermatol 2024; 99:202-209. [PMID: 37989688 PMCID: PMC10943309 DOI: 10.1016/j.abd.2023.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin cancer is the most frequent cancer worldwide and the most frequent periocular tumor. Keratinocyte Carcinomas (KC) located in periorificial areas, such as periocular tumors, are considered high-risk tumors. Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is considered the first line for the treatment of high-risk KC, providing a lower recurrence rate than conventional wide excision. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical-pathological features of periocular KC treated with MMS in a tertiary university center in Chile. METHODS A single-center, retrospective study of patients with KC located on the periocular area, that underwent MMS between 2017‒2022. MMS details were recorded. RESULTS One hundred thirteen patients with periocular carcinomas were included. The mean age was 59 ± 13 years; 52% were women. The most frequent location was the medial canthus (53%), followed by the lower eyelid (30.1%). The most frequent BCC histology was the nodular variant (59.3%). Regarding MMS, the average number of stages was 1.5 ± 0.7, and 54% of the cases required only 1 stage to achieve clear margins. To date, no recurrence has been reported. Tumors larger than 8.5 mm in largest diameter or 43.5 mm2 were more likely to require complex reconstruction. STUDY LIMITATIONS Retrospective design and a relatively low number of patients in the SCC group. Possible selection bias, as larger or more complex cases, may have been referred to oculoplastic surgeons directly. CONCLUSION The present study confirms the role of MMS for the treatment of periocular KCs. Periocular KCs larger than 8.5 mm might require complex reconstruction. These results can be used to counsel patients during pre-surgical visits.

Abstract
Eyelid squamous cell carcinoma is a major type of rare eyelid cancer, together with basal cell carcinoma and sebaceous gland carcinoma. It is a painless disease that progresses slowly and is often detected by the appearance of nodules or plaques. Risk factors include exposure to ultraviolet light, fair skin, radiation and human papillomavirus infection. The standard treatment is surgical removal, and in cases of orbital invasion, orbital content removal is required. If sentinel node biopsy reveals a high risk of lymph node metastasis, adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered. Local chemotherapy, such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil, may be used for eyelid squamous cell carcinoma in situ. When surgery or radiotherapy is not recommended for distant metastases or locally advanced disease, drug therapy is often according to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in Japan. The treatment often requires a multidisciplinary team to ensure the preservation of function and cosmetic appearance.

[PMID: 37427931 PMCID: PMC10445627 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000009537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An eyelid malignant tumor invading the medial canthus is a serious eyelid disease that requires extensive resection and complex destruction. The medial canthus ligament is especially difficult to repair because its reconstruction often requires special materials. In this study, we described our reconstruction technique using autogenous fascia lata. METHODS Data from 4 patients (4 eyes) who had medial canthal ligament defects after Mohs resection of eyelid malignant tumors were reviewed from September 2018 to August 2021. The reconstruction of the medial canthal ligament using autogenous fascia lata was performed in all of the patients. If combined with the upper and lower tarsus defects, autogenous fascia lata was split into 2 branches to repair the tarsal plate. RESULTS The pathologic diagnosis was basal cell carcinoma in all patients. The mean follow-up time was 13.6±3.51 months (range, 8-24 mo). There was no tumor recurrence, infection, or graft rejection. All patients achieved good eyelid movement and function and were satisfied with their medial angular shape and cosmetic contour. CONCLUSIONS Autogenous fascia lata is a good material to repair medial canthal defects. It is easy to take and effectively maintains eyelid movement and function with satisfactory postoperative effects.
