Abstract Purpose:We here present a case of basal cell carcinoma(BCC) accompanying Ehlers-Danlos syndrome(EDS).

Case:A 68-year-old male had nine years earlier with a right lower eyelid tumor. The tumor gradually grew and in May X, the patient underwent simple excision of the tumor. Histopathological diagnosis indicated BCC. He was referred to our hospital for complete tumor resection in August X. At his initial visit, a small recurrent tumor without pigmentation was observed in the middle right lower eyelid. He was diagnosed with the classical type of EDS because he had overly flexible joints, stretchy, fragile skin, and a positive family history. His son had COL5A1/2 gene mutations. On August X, complete excision with histopathological confirmation of negative margins was performed under general anesthesia, and the lower eyelid reconstructed using a Tenzel flap. A final diagnosis of BCC was made. During surgery, skin transection with suture threads and unexpected intraoperative bleeding did not occur. Two weeks later, we removed the sutures. No delayed wound healing, bleeding, or infection was observed 9 months post-surgery.

Conclusion:In patients with EDS, skin transection with suture threads, unexpected bleeding, infection, and delayed wound healing should be watched for during and after surgeries. As many patients with EDS do not have a definitive diagnosis, surgeons should be aware of masked EDS when patients have stretchy and fragile skin.
