Atypical Presentation of Metastatic Basal Cell CarcinomaColvett, Kyle T., Wilson, Floranne C., Stanton, Ryan A. 01 March 2004 (has links)
Basal cell carcinoma is an indolent, slow-growing tumor that rarely metastasizes. Approximately 70% of tumors occur in the head and neck regions. If a basal cell tumor metastasizes, it usually spreads to the regional lymph nodes first, followed by the lungs. We describe a patient with basal cell carcinoma of the right lower extremity with skin metastases. Skin biopsy of one tumor revealed fibroepithelioma of Pinkus, a rare variant of basal cell carcinoma.
