Abstract

Case report: We report an incidence of basal cell carcinoma of the lower lid arising in an area of trauma 68 years after the initial injury. Comments: Because patients may disregard the appearance of a wound in the setting of former trauma, medical practitioners need increased suspicion and surveillance of chronic nonhealing wounds.
