Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common neoplasm of the eyelids, occurring almost twenty times more often than squamous cell carcinoma. Extensive ulceration occurs with growth(rodent ulcer). Generally the lower eyelid is involved with basal cell carcinoma, particularly its outer portion, followed by the inner canthus, the upper eyelid and then lateral canthus. It is found most often in sixth decade life. The etiology of carcinoma of the lid is assumed to be association with trauma, irritation by long use of spectacles, dirty skin, chronic blepharitis and conjunctivitis, eczema and scar caused by burn. Complete eradication of these tumors is important. We experienced a case of basal cell carcinoma in lower lid with conjunctival involvement treated by rotation flap method.
