Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma

AbstractBackground:Giant basal cell carcinoma, in which the tumour measures 5 cm or greater in diameter, is a very rare skin malignancy that accounts for less than 1 per cent of all basal cell tumours. Very few studies have reported on the incidence, resection and reconstruction of this lesion worldwide.Methods:In total, 17 patients with giant basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck region underwent surgical excision and reconstruction at our hospital. Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed and analysed.Results:The lesion was usually in the forehead, eyelid, lips or nasal-cheek region. The greatest diameter ranged from 5 to 11 cm, with 5–6 cm being the most common size at the time of presentation. All patients had their tumour resected and reconstructed in a single-stage procedure, mostly with a local advancement flap, and with no post-operative flap failure.Conclusion:Giant basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck can be successfully treated with a local flap in a single-stage approach.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin malignancy arising from cells of the basal layer of the epithelium or from the external root sheath of the hair follicle. BCC of the digit is a rare entity. The article presents one such case of bowenoid BCC of the thumb which required amputation at the MP joint.

Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin lesion and is frequently curatively treated with local excision. Improper removal or neglect of BCC is a particular problem for head and neck surgeons. We describe a case of a recurrent BCC that aggressively grew from the forehead skin through the skull and into the frontal lobe. We also present a review of the literature. Despite its fairly benign growth pattern, BCC should never be underestimated, and care should be taken not only in the complete primary excision but also in cancer surveillance.
