Eyelid cancers present 5% à 10% of all skin cancers [1, 3] and is considered to be dangerous due to its proximity to vital structures such as orbits, sinuses, and the brain [4]. Early diagnosis and a complete cancer excision of the primary lesion are important to reduce the morbidity and mortality, especially to improve the cure rate . Our study concerned 41 cases of eyelid cancers collected at the Plastic Surgery department of the hospital ALghassani in Fes city and the center of burns and plastic surgery of hospital Mohammed V in Meknes_Morocco , from February 2021 to octobre 2022.We expose our surgical techniques with literature review. The arm of the treatment is surgical excision of the lesion with safety margins adapted to the anatomopathologic variety.
