Late, severe bleeding from the superficial temporal artery (STA) can occur after basal cell carcinoma (BCC) removal. This dangerous complication, though poorly reported, requires careful consideration in temple-area surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is frequently located on the temple.
  • Surgical removal of BCC carries known risks, including damage to the superficial temporal artery (STA) and the temporal branch of the facial nerve.

Observation:

  • Three patients developed late, severe bleeding from the STA after uncomplicated BCC removal from the temple.
  • The bleeding occurred at a delayed interval post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Delayed, severe hemorrhage from the STA is a potential complication following temple BCC excision.
  • This specific complication appears to be underreported in medical literature.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of the risk of delayed STA bleeding after temple BCC removal.

  • Enhanced vigilance and potentially specific post-operative monitoring may be warranted for patients undergoing these procedures.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology and optimal management of this complication.
