There are different techniques for reconstructing the eyelids and canthal area which may need modifications in some situations for proper reconstruction. Three cases of sebaceous gland carcinoma of the lids were done by different techniques, where the extent of the disease required subtotal lid excision. At 3 weeks when healing was noted and the histopathology reports were available, the second stage reconstruction was done along with tissue block excision. The block was excised from the site of graft-host junction showing margin involvement on histopathology. In the first case, the base of the excised margin showed infiltration following tumor excision, and hence a basal block of tissue was excised during second stage surgery. In the second case, the excised margin showed tumor involvement, so a lateral block of tissue was excised in second stage surgery. In the third case the deep basal block of tissue was excised during first stage only. In all the three cases, the excised block was free from tumor, but patient were kept on close follow-up. The technique has worked well in all the cases as no recurrence has occurred in 1-year follow-up. None of these patients received any radiotherapy or chemotherapy postoperatively. The postoperative appearances were normal with adequate functioning lids and earlier rehabilitation. |
