Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a specific entity that lacks the myxochondroid stromal component of pleomorphic adenoma. Membranous basal cell adenoma is a rare variant of BCA, which is characteristic by abundant eosinophilicextracellular hyaline material deposited either inside or at the periphery of the epithelial islands. Herin we describe the first case of membranous BCA arising in the upper ey...

Ultrasound imaging is not traditionally employed to evaluate eyelid lesions. Nevertheless, this technology permits the delineation of static and dynamic changes and could be useful in evaluating eyelid masses by providing additional information to clinicians for optimal surgical planning, especially in facilities where a computed tomography (CT) scan is not readily available. A 63-year-old woma...

The incidence of eyelid tumours (but also the periocular located tumours) in a predominantly white population determined that BCC is the most common malignant periocular eyelid tumour in w...
