Four case reports of patients of 46-76 years with squamous-cell carcinoma and basal-cell epithelioma of lower eyelid was described, diagnosed in the ophthalmology department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital. In those affected a partial or total tarsectomy with eyelid reconstruction by means of island myocutaneous flaps of zygomatic area and nasal muscle was performed. The functional and aesthetic results were optimal and the effectiveness of these flaps was confirmed.

Keywords : basal-cell epithelioma; squamous-cell carcinoma; myocutaneous flap; eyelid reconstruction; secondary health care.
