[Microscopically controlled excision of malignant eyelid tumors and subsequent reconstruction (author's transl)].

35 patients, most of whom had recurrent or large malignant eyelid tumors (33 basal cell carcinomas and 2 squamous cell carcinomas), underwent microscopically controlled excision (Mohs' fresh tissue technique). This approach guarantees a complete removal of the tumor, while conserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Short time follow-up studies have shown that plastic reconstruction gave good functional and cosmetic results.
