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.

Abstract A basal cell ameloblastoma is an uncommon benign neoplasm and has a similar histological appearance to basal cell carcinoma of the skin. This clinical case report will discuss an ameloblastoma originating in the maxilla and of the baseloid variant. The objective of report is to highlight the possibility of misdiagnosis from this challenging case. A 34-year-old male was referred to the maxillofacial department with recurrent nasal regurgitation following dental extraction from the left maxilla 1 year previous. Clinically there was an oro-antral fistula visible and initial CT showed cystic lesion in the left maxilla likely to represent an odontogenic cyst. The patient underwent extraction and enucleation, where the diagnosis of the amelobalstoma was established with need of resection. Partial maxillectomy and primary closure with buccal fadpad was performed in the second stage and histological results showed a 6mm completely excised basal cell carcinoma within the oral mucosa and no bony invasion. Due to this extremely unusual results, secondary histological review was requested, and conclusion was a fully excised basal cell ameloblastoma. Following the procedure and subsequent reviews, the patient has no evidence of oro-antral fistula or recurrence of this rare type of neoplasm. A basal cell ameloblastoma variant is a rare lesion and due to its’ similar histological appearance to a basal cell carcinoma, can lead to a misdiagnosis. The aim of the report is to show the unusual presentation and findings along the way to correct diagnosis in this case.

Abstract Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of cutaneous cancer. In majority of cases it is locally invasive with slow growth, ranging in size from a couple of milimeters to a couple of centimeters and located primarily on sun-exposed regions. Giant basal cell carcinoma, defined as a tumor that is larger than 5 cm in diameter, is a very rare type of cutaneous malignancy accounting for 0.5-1% of all basal cell carcinomas. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a 17 x 14 cm giant basal cell carcinoma in the right supraclavicular region. Detailed history revealed that the lesion had started as a papule 15 years before presentation. Despite its growth, the lesion was neglected until admission. Histological examination of skin lesion confirmed superficial and focally infiltrative types of basal cell carcinoma. Electron radiotherapy was administered with 54 Gy total dose delivered in 20 daily fractions which resulted in healing of lesions and adequate response. Thus, definitive radiotherapy can be just as effective as excision when the criteria are met.
