title: [Epithelioma of the medial canthus. Retrospective study of 47 surgically treated cases].
abstract: The authors report a retrospective study of 47 cases of carcinoma of the medial canthal area which were operated on between 1982 and 1987. Patient age and the histological frequency of basal cell carcinoma were similar to those of studies previously reported. Local extension must be evaluated at the initial clinical examination and computed tomography can be very useful. Frozen section for histopathologic study should be done if there is the least doubt. The surgical treatment and different methods of local reconstruction are discussed.
