Abstract
In recent years new modern therapeutic concepts have been developed in the treatment of malignant eyelid tumors; however, surgical restoration remains an important component of the therapeutic options addressed, which include microsurgical tumor excision into healthy tissue and subsequent coverage of the defects. An ophthalmic surgeon experienced in oculoplastic surgery is responsible for the recognition and evaluation of the existing alterations and planning a procedure together with the patient that meets the patient's expectations. The planning of surgery must always be individualized and fit the initial findings. Depending on the defect size and localization, different coverage strategies are available to the surgeon. To ensure successful reconstruction, every surgeon should master a wide range of reconstructive techniques.

[PMID: 36112203 DOI: 10.1007/s00347-022-01719-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has significantly increased in the last decades. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the risk of recurrence of periocular BCC after histologically controlled resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Based on the clinical records from 2009-2020 a total of 270 consecutive periocular BCCs from 243 patients were investigated with respect to recurrence after surgical excision. For this study, the type of BCC (primary or recurrent BCC) and localization within the orbital region (upper eyelid nasal, middle, temporal and lower eyelid nasal, middle, temporal) and the histological BCC subtype, e.g. solid/nodular (s/n), superficial multicentric (s-m), infiltrative/sclerodermal (i/s), basosquamous (bsq) and mixed (gem), were recorded. Recurrence rates were compared using χ2-tests. RESULTS The 270 resected BCCs with 231 primary BCC (pBCC) and 39 already recurrent BCC (rBCC), were included in this study. Among the 231 pBCCs we recorded a total of 38 (16.5%, 2‑year recurrence rate 9.2%) recurrences for the abovementioned period. In the 39 rBCCs we observed 18 (46.2%) recurrences (2-year recurrence rate 37.8%). In addition, a significantly shorter recurrence-free interval (RFV, ∅ 52.6 ± 9.0 months) was observed for the rBCC than for the pBCC (∅108.6 ± 4.1 months, p < 0.001). The recurrence rates did not differ significantly with respect to the location; however, there was a significant difference between the five defined subtypes (p = 0.001): s/n = 15.9%, s‑m = 45.0%, i/s = 27.8%, bsq = 33.3% and gem = 40.0%. After R0 resection the recurrence rate of s/n BCC was significantly lower than after R?/R1 resection (p = 0.008). The histological subtypes i/s (p = 0.433), bsq (p = 0.417), and gem (p = 0.143), showed no significant difference between the recurrence rates after R0 and R?/R1 resection. In s‑m BCC, a conclusion on the statistical significance was not possible. DISCUSSION The recurrence rate appears to be comparatively high; however, R1 resected BCCs were intentionally included in this study to obtain an evaluation that reflects clinical practice as realistically as possible. It is possible that the surgical procedure and/or the type of histological examination as well as the broad interpretation of the term local recurrence could be the reason for the different recurrence data in the literature. Our data indicate that the recurrence rate is not affected by the exact localization within the orbital region, but by the respective BCC subtype. As recurrences may develop years after BCC excision a long-term follow-up is strictly recommended.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide an overview on the current state of personalized medicine in the systemic treatment of selected periocular tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and conjunctival melanoma. This article therefore provides an extensive current literature review from PubMed including the current guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOP). As 90% of basal cell carcinomas have a pathologic activation of the sonic hedgehog pathway, vismodegib is a new treatment option for inoperable or metastatic basal cell carcinoma and for patients with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. A novel approach of systemic medicine for the treatment of metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma is immunotherapy using the immune checkpoint inhibitor avelumab. Other personalized immunotherapies, such as the checkpoint inhibitors pembrolizumab and nivolumab, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor pazopanib and the role of the hedgehog pathway in Merkel cell carcinomas are the subject of current research and will certainly play an important role in future treatment. In the narrow sense personalized medicine has only come true for metastatic conjunctival melanomas: systemic treatment with BRAF, MEK and/or checkpoint inhibitors is initiated only when a BRAF mutation is detected in the tumor or metastatic tissue. Systemic immunotherapy with the checkpoint inhibitors pembrolizumab and nivolumab can also be used as a treatment option in metastatic conjunctival melanomas. In summary, personalized medicine is a subject of current research and provides many new targeted treatment options especially for periocular malignancies; however, it also involves many great challenges in the development and implementation of new techniques and therapies.

Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor among fair-skinned individuals, and its incidence had been steadily rising in the past decades. In order to maintain the highest quality of patient care possible, the German S2k guidelines were updated following a systematic literature search and with the participation of all professional societies and associations involved in the management of the disease. Part 2 addresses issues such as proper risk stratification, the various therapeutic approaches, and prevention as well as follow-up of patients with basal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Latest developments as well as established procedures offer alternative treatment approaches to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) when micrographically controlled surgical removal is not a valid option. OBJECTIVE Alternative treatment options for periorbital BCC are presented. METHODS A literature search was carried out and a structured display and analysis of the results are given. RESULTS Micrographically controlled surgical removal represents the gold standard in treatment of BCC. When for various reasons surgical removal is not a valid option, other procedures are required. The alternative treatment options can be divided into three main groups: treatment options for locally advanced or metastasized BCC, topical approaches for small and superficial BCC and prophylactic measures. While radiotherapy and systemic therapy are suitable for locally advanced BCC and are discussed in a tumor board, small and superficial BCC can be treated by topical medication. In cases of a previous BCC history, a prophylactic treatment can be considered. Combinations of systemic treatment and also neoadjuvant or adjuvant approaches before and after surgery are promising options for a successful outcome, which can further improve the standard treatment for locally advanced BCC. CONCLUSION Alternative treatment options for periocular BCC are available; however, the use is only indicated when microscopically controlled excision with subsequent oculoplastic reconstruction is not possible. According to the national guidelines a prior presentation to a suitable tumor board is practically compulsory.

Abstract
The gold standard for the treatment of periocular basal cell carcinoma is surgical resection followed by ophthalmoplastic reconstruction. The highest priority in most cases is the complete histopathologically controlled tumor excision. The histopathological preparation can be carried out in two stages by rapid overnight embedding or intraoperatively by a rapid frozen section procedure. A variety of reconstruction methods enable a customized and in most cases also a cosmetically and functionally attractive defect coverage. Postoperatively, a regularly performed tumor aftercare is essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A space-occupying lesion of the eyelid in young adults is often a sign of an inflammation, a trauma or a benign neoplasm. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate a rare basal cell carcinoma, which presumably already arose in adolescence without further high-risk factors. METHODS A 28-year-old male patient presented for a second opinion on a painless swelling of the right lower eyelid. According to the patient's history the swelling had been present since the age of 16 years and originally resembled a molluscum contagiosum. An ophthalmologist in private practice made the diagnosis of a suspected trichoepithelioma. The extended patient history revealed a blood coagulation disorder. The clinical ophthalmological examination revealed a nodular space-occupying lesion with a border wall and telangiectasia. The further ophthalmological examination was bilaterally inconspicuous. Due to the suspicion of a malignant process, an operation was promptly carried out using local anesthesia with complete tumor excision and pedicled flap plasty as well as a histopathological investigation to confirm the diagnosis. RESULTS The histopathological investigation revealed underlying infiltrates of a basaloid tumor with bale-shaped trabecular growth, sometimes with peripheral palisading of the cells. The cells were predominantly monomorphic with isolated pleomorphic nuclei and sometimes enclosed mitoses. Immunohistochemically the cells were strongly positive for BerEP4 and negative for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). The diagnosis of a nodular basal cell carcinoma of the right lower eyelid was made. All incision margins were free of tumor cells (R0 resection). In the dermatological screening no further manifestations were detected. CONCLUSION Despite the occurrence of a space-occupying lesion of the eyelid in a young adult patient and also with no further risk factors, in addition to an inflammatory event and a benign tumor, a malignant disease, such as a basal cell carcinoma should also be taken into consideration. A tissue biopsy or complete excision with subsequent histological examination including an immunohistochemical analysis are essential for differentiation from other tumor entities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinomas are the most common periocular malignant tumor. In advanced periocular basal cell carcinoma, vismodegib is a new treatment option which might potentially avoid surgical eye removal. CASE REPORT We treated a 76-year-old patient unwilling to consent to surgery with vismodegib for advanced periocular basal cell carcinoma on the left forehead that had already undergone several previous treatments. After initial partial remission, the tumor regrew under ongoing therapy, so that radical surgical excision including orbital exenteration was performed. Unfortunately, the patient died thereafter due to septic multi-organ failure. CONCLUSION Basal cell carcinoma and its new treatment options are gaining importance for ophthalmology due to rising incidence and prevalence rates. Vismodegib is a new encouraging option. However, for advanced tumors, it must be resolved whether complete histological remission may be achieved to avoid surgical intervention, or whether the area of resection can be significantly reduced. Current multicenter studies investigate these aspects further (ClinicalTrails.gov identifier: NCT03035188).

Abstract
Eyelid tumors are often periocular skin lesions but can also be derived from adnexal structures or the conjunctiva. Treatment is primarily surgical, especially for malignant tumors, whereby complete excision is strived for to minimize the local rate of recurrence. Adjuvant therapy and conservative alternative methods (e.g. radiotherapy, cryotherapy and immunomodulation) are reserved for specific cases. The main goal for reconstruction of the eyelids is the functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. This article focuses on the principles and underlying techniques for the reconstruction of the periocular region.
