Abstract
The use of fresh tissue micrographic surgery offers distinct advantages over other currently available forms of treatment in the management of primary and recurrent periocular basal cell epitheliomas. The technique is described and the results of a prospective study of 22 patients are presented. The advantages in terms of both surety of tumour excision and tissue preservation are discussed. We conclude that micrographic surgery has a definite role to play in the management of certain periocular basal cell epitheliomas.Keywords
