case_images: Squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelids was highly suspected, but the patient refused any further diagnostic or treatment procedures, including biopsy or surgical removal of the lesions (Figure 1(a)). The patient's family (members) continued to note a high rate of tumor growth accompanied by deterioration of the general condition (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)). On examination, no eyelids, eyeball, or other ocular tissue could be seen on the right side of his face while the necrotic mass extended to forehead and midcheek (Figure 1(d)).
