[Bilateral aggressive basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids and face--case report].

In this paper we present a case of sclerosing basal cell carcinomas affecting both sides of periocular regions in a 68-years old woman. Neoplastic tissues were surgically removed and the extend of resection was controlled microscopically during the operation. After fixing the remaining palpebral structures to ocular muscles and bones the split-thickness skin grafts were placed at the defects. We planned to perform the second step reconstructive procedures of the eyelids, but we resigned because of unexpectedly good functional nad esthetic results. We present this case because the cancers were long-term, multiple and of a great advancement, the treatment was difficult and the results were very good.
