What is Basal Cell Carcinoma?  What is the treatment for Basal Cell Carcinoma?

Basal cell carcinoma is a common cancer of the eyelids and face.  It typically causes a poorly healing lesion on the eyelid or around the eye that does not heal over time.  The basal cells lesions are usually round with a depressed center.  If not treated basal cell carcinoma can invade local structures.  It will rarely metastasize.  Treatment includes surgically removing the entire lesion.
