HECHAVARRIA JIMENEZ, Yulexis; ROJAS BRUZON, Raquel  and  PEREZ PUPO, Annarelis. Lower eyelid reconstruction after lumpectomy. A case report. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.3  Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 1029-3043.

Some elderly patients frequently develop various diseases, including skin cancer as well as a predisposition to the appearance of tumours, both in the eyelids and conjunctiva. Basal cell carcinoma and epidermoid carcinoma stand out among the malignant epithelial lesions; meibomian cell carcinoma and palpebral melanoma which are less common, and Merkel cell carcinoma rarely known. We present a male patient who received treatment in the plastic surgery service at "Vladimir Ilich Lenin" Hospital, in Holguín, to which Mustardé technique was applied for a tumour of the lower eyelid. An eyelid reconstruction was performed after lumpectomy which allowed us to show a postoperative functional and aesthetic result. This case evolved satisfactorily, without the appearance of intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Keywords : eyelid neoplasms; surgery, plastic; skin neoplasms.
