title: [Malignant palpebral tumors. Comments on 111 cases].
abstract: During 1991-1995, 111 patients with palpebral malignant tumours were hospitalized. They represented 15% of the face malignant tumours. The maximal incidence was mentioned after the age of 60 years, only 21 patients were under 60 years of age. The most cases (88) were located at the level of inferior eyelid and internal canthus. From an anatomo-pathological point of view, 88 cases were baso-cellular epitheliomas, 10 were spino-cellular epitheliomas. 1 case was malignant melanoma and 1 case was adenocarcinomas of Meibomius gland. In 30% of the cases the patients come lately. The surgery of palpebral neoplasm requires both an oncological-oriented operation and a plastic-reparatory operation; the reparatory operations using free or pedicled grafts [correction of pediculate graphs] are presented.
