“…Clinically, diagnosis of MCC is usually unexpected [1, 13,38]. For example, Rubsamen and associates [30] were unable to find a single case report in which eyelid MCC was correctly suspected before biopsy. Often a chalazion is assumed [15,22,43].…”

“…About half of all MCC are located in the head and neck region, and the eylids including the periorbital region are affected by almost one fifth of them [14,18,35,37]. Therefore, an ophthalmologist should consider this tumor when an elderly patient presents a solitary reddish nodular lesion of the eyelid, especially because MCC is often mistaken for a benign lesion on clinical examination [1, 13,14,30,38].…”

“…Mohs' surgery also allows maximal sparing of normal adjacent tissue. 34 Radical, 3-cm wide excision often is possible on the trunk or extremities but may not be desirable on the face, especially on the periocular region where approximately 10% of these tumors may occur. 4 In this series, the average lateral margin via Mohs' surgery was only 1.5 cm (1.2 cm on the face and 1.9 cm on the extremities).…”

“…Entgegen dem klinischen Eindruck eines gut abgegrenzten Tumors besteht eine erhebliche Neigung zur mikroskopischen Ausbreitung tiber den sichtbaren Rand der L~ision hinaus [28]. Eine Entfernung im Gesunden ist daher oft nur mit sehr groBzt~gigen Sicherheitsabst~inden m6glich.…”

“…Nach Exzision des Tumors wird die Indikation zu einer postoperativen Strahlenbehandlung von einigen Autoren von Risikokonstellationen wie einer R1-Resektion, Lymph-oder H~imangiosis, grOBerem Tumordurchmesser usw. abh~ngig gemacht [13,15,28], jedoch ist infolge der sehr groBen Radiosensibilitfit des Tumors und der hohen lokalen wie regionalen Rezidivraten die Indikation zu einer postoperativen Strahlenbehandlung sowohl der Region des Prim~irtumors als auch der drainierenden Lymphknotenstationen fast immer zu stellen [1,11,18,19,33]. Nach erfolgter operativer Ausrfiumung der drainierenden Lymphknotenstationen sollte zumindest bei nodal positiven Patienten eine Bestrahlung der LymphabfluBwege erwogen werden.…”
