Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma
Keyword(s):
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer worldwide with an estimated annual incidence of 2 million in the United States. Majority of the patients present with a suspicious skin lesion with surrounding soft tissue destruction, but distant metastasis is rare, reportedly in less than 0.05-0.1% of all cases. So far, around 350 cases have been reported with majority of metastases occurring in primary lesions of head and neck. Here, we present a patient with high-risk BCC lesion presenting with distant metastasis.
