Metastatic basal cell carcinoma is a rare cancer. This case report details the first instance of this tumor causing spinal cord compression.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is typically a non-metastatic skin cancer.
  • Metastatic BCC is exceedingly rare, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of spinal cord compression.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed a metastatic basal cell carcinoma as the causative agent.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of metastatic basal cell carcinoma presenting with cord compression.
  • The tumor's unusual presentation highlights the potential for aggressive behavior in rare BCC cases.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of basal cell carcinoma.
  • It underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in cases of unexplained cord compression.
