This study evaluated recurrence rates after globe-sparing surgery for ocular adnexal malignancies, with particular relevance to Mohs micrographic surgery. The data supported that globe-sparing approaches can achieve acceptable oncologic outcomes while preserving the eye, though close follow-up is essential.

Take-Home Messages

  • Globe-sparing surgery for periocular malignancies can achieve good oncologic outcomes while preserving vision and ocular function.
  • Long-term surveillance is critical after globe-sparing surgery for ocular adnexal tumors due to the risk of local recurrence.
