• Abstract:

  Ectropion is defined as the eversion of the lower eyelid, causing it to turn away from the eyeball and resulting in both aesthetic and functional damage.
      There are numerous causes of this condition, which may be associated with complications from cosmetic surgeries such as lower blepharoplasty or, as in the case of our patient, the presence of a tumor. 
      One of the most feared complications of removing skin lesions in the eyelid region is precisely scar ectropion.
      Preventing this situation should always be part of surgical planning.
