The management of eyelid neoplasms.
The results of 377 patients treated for eyelid neoplasms are reported. A definitive histological diagnosis is essential before commencing treatment. Basal cell carcinomata were the commonest lesions encountered in this series. The various indications for radiotherapy, surgery and cryotherapy are discussed and their respective advantages and disadvantages considered. The aim of treatment is a cure of the primary condition and a satisfactory cosmetic result with the minimum of complications. In this Unit surgery is reserved for a simple excision biopsy or diathermy excision and Wolfe graft as radiotherapy appears to offer the best form of treatment in most cases.
