| Summary: | Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine cancer that occurs in the photodamaged skin of white and elderly patients, usually presenting as a solitary plaque or nodule in the head and neck region. When located in the lower palpebral area, reconstructing the defect resulting from its excision can become challenging for the dermatological surgeon due to the local cosmetic and functional peculiarity. We report the use of a bilobed flap for lower eyelid reconstruction with a satisfactory result, both in terms of aesthetics and the resulting functionality. |
