    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer.
    • Giant BCCs are rare, typically exceeding 5 cm in diameter.
    • Polypoid BCC is an uncommon growth pattern.

    Observation:

    • A case of a giant polypoid basal cell carcinoma on the back of a 64-year-old male patient is presented.
    • The tumor exhibited a significant exophytic, polyp-like morphology.

    Findings:

    • This report details a rare presentation of basal cell carcinoma.
    • A review of English literature identified three similar cases of giant polypoid BCCs.
    • The findings highlight the variability in BCC presentation and growth patterns.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of rare BCC morphologies is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Giant polypoid BCCs may require specific surgical approaches.
    • Further research into the factors contributing to aggressive or unusual BCC growth is warranted.
