The reconstruction of the eyelid is a considerable challenge for surgeons due to the fact that it is a delicate organ of the utmost importance. The procedure is indicated in defects of congenital origin, post-trauma, or neoplasia. There are many techniques described in the literature. The authors report a case of a female patient bearer of xeroderma pigmentosum with extensive basal cell carcinoma in the lower right eyelid, who underwent tumor resection and reconstruction of the lower eyelid using the modified Fricker technique with excellent functional and aesthetic result.
