Surgery for primary basal cell carcinoma including the eyelid margins with intraoperative frozen section control: comparative interventional study with a minimum clinical follow up of 5 years. Abstract Text:

AIM: To assess recurrence of primary basal cell carcinoma (PBCC) including the eyelid margins after resection with or without intraoperative frozen section control (IFS). METHODS: Comparative non-randomised interventional study involving review of records of consecutive patients with histological diagnosis of PBCC including the eyelid margins, treated surgically at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg between 1989 and 1998. Patients with a minimum clinical follow up of 5 years treated with (group I) or without (group II) IFS were compared. Postoperatively, permanent paraffin sections were available in all patients. RESULTS: 165 patients were available for study. There were 145 patients with a minimum of 5 years follow up. Of these, no tumour recurrences were observed in group I (n = 114) compared with three (9.7%) in group II (n = 31) (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Surgery for PBCC including the eyelid margins with IFS and immediate plastic reconstruction, as performed in the present study, is associated with better long term cure compared with surgery with clinical control.
