title: Recurrent eyelid basal cell carcinoma with sclerochoroidal infiltration: echographic findings.
abstract: In an 82-year-old woman with a recurrent right lid basal cell carcinoma infiltrating the upper temporal orbit, a solid yellowish lesion was found ophthalmoscopically in the superotemporal periphery of the right eye. On standardized echography examination, the 2.5-mm elevated subretinal lesion was medium to high reflective with irregular structure, whereas the adjacent orbital mass was medium to low reflective and the sclera was thinned with at least one passage between the orbital and ocular lesions. To our knowledge, this is the first echographic report of sclerochoroidal infiltration from a lid basal cell carcinoma.
