Palpebral carcinomas are the most frequent malignant tumors, dominated by basal cell carcinomas followed by squamous cell carcinomas with a prediction for the lower eyelid. We carried out a retrospective study in our maxillofacial surgery and stomatology department at the Mohammed V military hospital in Rabat. We collected 23 cases over a 3-year period from 2020 to 2023, including 16 men and 7 women, with an average age of 65 years. Palpebral carcinomas pose a management problem, given their proximity to the eyeball and the risk of infiltration, hence the importance of a meticulous clinical-radiological assessment and diagnostic biopsy prior to any therapeutic decision. The gold standard of treatment is surgery, with reconstruction to meet functional and morphological requirements. A number of techniques are described, and the choice depends on the degree of loss of substance and the surgeon's experience.
