Article Synopsis
- A case study is presented involving an 80-year-old woman with a rare occurrence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the caruncle of her left eye, which was confirmed via histological analysis after complete excision.
- The lesion measured 2x2mm and showed no signs of involvement with surrounding tissues; importantly, no recurrence of cancer was observed over a 30-month follow-up period.
- The study highlights the need to consider BCC when diagnosing caruncular tumors due to its potential to invade the orbit, emphasizing the importance of complete removal and the possibility of additional treatments like radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
