Description
Summary:Peripunctal squamous cell carcinomas with canalicular infiltration are a rare clinical entity. Although there are universal guidelines on achieving margin clearance for excision of an eyelid tumor, literature is scarce on achieving the same while dealing with the lacrimal drainage system. The present case describes the management of a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with secondary extension into the proximal lacrimal system. The surgery was performed with intraoperative frozen section guidance.
