Two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid are reported. Both patients had multiple cancers. Case 1 was an 81-year-old man who had a squamous cell carcinoma on his right upper eyelid and on his right palm, and Bowen's disease in his left thumb. Case 2 was an 87-year-old woman who had a squamous cell carcinoma on her right lower eyelid, an adenocarcinoma in her colon, and a uterus cancer of unknown histology. In spite of their advanced age, the eyelid tumors showed rapid growth in both cases. The reason for this rapid growth was unclear. However, the presence of cancers in other organs may provide clues, because the immunological ability in patients with multiple cancers is considered to be weakened.

D001913 Bowen's Disease A persistent progressive non-elevated red scaly or crusted plaque which is due to an intradermal carcinoma and is potentially malignant. Atypical squamous cells proliferate through the whole thickness of the epidermis. The lesions may occur anywhere on the skin surface or on mucosal surfaces. The cause most frequently found is trivalent arsenic compounds. Freezing, cauterization or diathermy coagulation is often effective.
