Unlabelled:
The aim of our study was to evaluate a recurrence rate of basalioma of the eyelid after surgical therapy. In our cohort of patients we also assessed a relation between the recurrence and chosen clinical parameters (localisation and size of tumour, TNM classification, histopathological grade of differentiation, margins of excision).
Material And Methods:
Retrospective analysis of data from patients with basalioma of the eyelid treated surgically at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine Comenius University in Bratislava during the years 2005-2007. The excision exceeded the macroscopically visible margins of tumor with a safety margin of 2-3 mm into the healthy tissue.
Results:
In our cohort we studied 67 histologically proven tumors in 65 patients. During a mean follow-up time of 24.6 +/- 13.6 months we found a recurrence in 4 tumors (6,0%), one of them subsequently recidivated for a second time. There was no statistically significant relation between the studied parameters and a tumor recurrence.
Conclusion:
Our recurrence rate of 6.0% is comparable with the published results from other centers.
