Although it rarely metastasizes, BCC can cause clinically significant local destruction. The mainstay treatment and prevention of recurrence for BCC is by complete excision.
Purpose: The main aim of this study is to determine the number of patients requiring re-excision, their reasons and to determine how many were unnecessary.
Methods: Retrospective study of 119 patients with a histological diagnosis of Periocular BCC between 2016 -2018 in the Ophthalmology Department, Stepping Hill Hospital. List of patients was obtained from the histopathology lab.
Results: Of the 119 patients from October 2015 to October 2018, 66 were female and 53 were male. The youngest patient is of age 26 and the oldest 98 years old; with the mean age of 71.3. The most common site is the lower lid followed by canthus, brow and finally upper lid. The most common histological subtype is nodular (n=58) and the rarest being nodulocystic (n=2). 89 patients had staged excisions locally, 27 patients were referred for Moh's micrographic surgery in Salford Royal Infirmary Hospital and the remaining 3 had biopsies only. Of the 89 patients with staged excisions, 15/89 (17%) required a re-excision. Reasons for re-excision include tumour extending to nearest margin (8/15) and a narrow margin (7/15). Amongst patients with re-excision, majority were lateral canthal lesions with infiltrative nodular histological subtype. Only 1 patient with staged excision had a recurrence (1/89). The recurrence was an infiltrative nodular right lower lid BCC with a nearest margin of 0.25mm. No recurrence following Moh's micrographic surgery was noted in this patient group.
Conclusions: Re-excision is more common in BCC with an infiltrative histological subtype. Majority 13/15(87%) of the surgical re-excision is tumour free. It is recommended that patients with infiltrative BCC referred for a MMS. |
