Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer in the world and is generally treated when small in size with an excellent prognosis. Rarely, basal cell carcinoma will grow to be larger than 5 cm, at which point they are termed giant basal cell carcinoma. Giant basal cell carcinoma comprises only 0.5% of all basal cell carcinoma, but is associated with impaired quality of life and increased risk of metastasis. When a basal cell carcinoma grows to over 20 cm in size, it is termed super giant basal cell carcinoma. Here, we report a case of both a super-giant basal cell carcinoma and a giant basal cell carcinoma developing over 10–12 years on the upper back and anterior chest wall of an autistic male. Generally, this presentation is associated with neglect on the part of the patient. This case report demonstrates a super-giant basal cell carcinoma developing secondary to patient neglect in the context of comorbid mental illness.

Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer and the most common type of tumor in the human population in general. Clinical variants of BCC include nodular, superficial, pigmented, morpheaform, cystic, metatypical types and fibroepithelioma of Pinkus. Giant BCC is a rare type of carcinoma, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of BCC. Most often they occur on the trunk. BCC belongs to the group of aggressive tumors, leading to the invasion of deeper tissues, and examples of metastasis of this type of tumor can be found in the reference literature. In this case report, we present a case of a 76-year-old female patient with a giant ulcerous form of basal cell carcinoma on the back.
