Zusammenfassung:Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common type of skin cancer in the world, usually arises in sun‐exposed areas of the skin. The therapeutic approach to periocular BCC has changed in the last few years.

In this study we tried to evaluate the efficacy of CO2 laser and photodynamic therapy in periocular BCC.
