Abstract:
The authors experienced a case of basosquamous cell carcinoma occuring in the eyelid, which was confirmed by the biopsy. Histological findings showed the infiltrating nests of malignant squamous cell with nests of basal cell infiltrating into the dermis. A huge ulcerating, infected lesion with irregular indurating border involved the entire lid and extended onto the orbital margin and nose with the nasolacrimal duct exposed. Because of the unusual case, it was felt that literatures review would be instructive.
