Summary

History Within 6 months a 88-year-old woman developed cutaneous metastases with infiltration of the eyelid so that an opening of the eye-lids became impossible. The primary tumor histologically resembled a mamma carcinoma.

Therapy Within a few days the cutaneous metastases of the eye-lids decreased by using x-ray therapy with the Dermopan II with a single dosage of 5 Gy and a total dosage of 35 Gy on the eye-lids. Even 12 months after palliative therapy the opening of the eye-lids was possible without any problems.

Conclusions By using the x-ray therapy immediate and gentle help could be given to the terminally ill patient so that eye-lid surgery could be avoided.
