Basal cell carcinomas are the most common type of skin cancer. Recurring basal cell carcinomas have lower cure rates than the primary tumors. Recurring tumors are usually treated with re-excision using micrographic surgery or by controlling the margins through freezing. A case of recurring basal cell carcinoma with large dimensions is reported. After total exeresis and correction using a rotation flap and total skin graft, the area developed eclabium, an unattractive complication that was corrected in a second surgery using a Limberg flap. This study presents an alternative correction for eclabium, and emphasizes the importance of training dermatologic surgeons how to resolve complications.

This study describes a technique for correcting entropion based on the case of a female patient who had that alteration in the left lower eyelid, in addition to sagging and fat pseudo-herniation in the left and right eyelid areas. Bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty was performed, with wedge resection of the orbicularis muscle and tarsus in both lower eyelids, followed by reconstruction. The patient presented good functional and aesthetic results, with no complications.
