Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous skin malignancy. 85% of BCCs affect the face, a region particularly rich in noble organs. Although BCC progresses slowly, considerable local destruction and mutilation may be observed. Material and Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the database stored by our institution. All patients with histologically confirmed mutilating basal cell carcinoma of the face hospitalized at the dermatology department of the university hospital in Fez, Morocco, from 2015 through 2020 were evaluated. Results: Nine patients were included, with the tumors located in the lips, temporal region, orbital region, and cheeks, with sizes varying from 5 to 11 cm. Conclusion: In the series, we were able to highlight the high-risk character of the subpopulation living in rural areas and the role of smoking as a major risk factor.

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.

Substantial Morbidity

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). It grows slowly and very rarely metastasizes but can cause substantial morbidity due to its tendency to relapse and locally invasive nature, especially when located on the face. Excision surgery is still the gold standard treatment for primary BCC and is usually followed by reconstruction procedure. Skin flap techniques vary widely, one of which is flap advancement technique. The main benefit of flap advancement technique is the ability to hide the excision line, thus resulting in an aesthetically sound outcome. We report a case of 72-year-old female with hyperpigmented plaque brownish lump on the left lateral cheek. A diagnosis of igmented basal cell carcinoma had been confirmed through histopathological examination. The patient was treated with wide excision surgery and the defect was closed by multiple advancement flaps. Follow-up after three months showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcome.
