ABSTRACT
Introduction: periocular squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the keratinizing cells of the epidermis and its annexes. Therapeutics focuses on its elimination without functional and aesthetic sequelae. HeberFERON® –currently in phase IV clinical trial– is a drug that, due to its synergistic antiproliferative effect, is a valid option to treat this tumor.Objective: to present a series of three patients diagnosed with periocular squamous cell carcinoma in whom the treatment was effective.
Case presentation: three patients were treated with HeberFERON®. The first two presented squamous cell carcinomas on the periocular surface: one conjunctival-corneal and one tarsoconjunctival; in both, the medicine was used by the intramuscular and intralesional routes. The third patient had a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the upper eyelid, treated with intralesional injection. In the first two the tumors were considerably reduced, but total resolution was achieved with minimally invasive surgical interventions. In the third, the tumor was also reduced and with the use of cryotherapy the operation was avoided.
Conclusions: treatment with HeberFERON® of periocular squamous cell carcinomas was effective in all three patients.
