    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignancy.
    • Metastasis from BCC is rare, with fewer than 130 cases reported globally.
    • Lymph node involvement is the most frequent metastatic pathway for BCC.

    Observation:

    • A case of basal cell carcinoma originating on the cheek is presented.
    • The patient developed metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes.

    Findings:

    • This case adds to the limited literature on BCC metastasis.
    • The occurrence of metastasis was associated with a cheek BCC, a site not previously highlighted for metastatic potential.
    • The metastasis involved cervical lymph nodes, consistent with known patterns.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Highlights the potential for metastasis even in seemingly localized basal cell carcinoma.
    • Underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring and adequate treatment of all BCCs, regardless of location.
    • Suggests that BCCs in certain facial areas may warrant closer surveillance for metastatic disease.
