Abstract:
Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) represents a rare but possible occurrence in the vast scenario of dermatological diseases. It is well known that most BCC has a pathological activation of the hedgehog pathway, making them susceptible to targeted therapy with selective inhibitors. Sonidegib, approved for the treatment of laBCC on the basis of the results of the basal cell carcinoma outcomes with LDE225 treatment study, demonstrated rapid efficacy and a manageable safety profile. Here, we describe the case of a patient affected by multiple laBCC treated with Sonidegib. The patient experienced an important regression of tumors after only 2 months of therapy, with few side effects. This result confirms the role of Sonidegib as a valid and well-tolerated therapeutic option for laBCC.
