Risk factors and surgical outcomes in periocular basal cell carcinoma treated with Mohs micrographic surgery

Key Points

• Tumor recurrence rates significantly impact surgical outcomes for basal cell carcinoma, especially in high-risk populations.
• Approximately 10% of patients experienced recurrence after Mohs micrographic surgery, indicating a need for careful assessment of risk factors.
• Assessment of periocular basal cell carcinoma outcomes includes evaluating surgical margins and tumor characteristics to guide intervention.
• Early identification of risk factors and tailored Mohs micrographic surgery can improve management strategies and reduce recurrence.
