Basal cell carcinoma in children. Case report

C Henriksson, J Eldh, K Hersle

    Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary

    Basal cell carcinoma is rare in children. This report details two pediatric cases with initially benign-appearing lesions that were histologically confirmed and successfully treated, showing no recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is exceptionally rare in pediatric patients.
    • Understanding its clinical and pathological presentation in children is crucial for early diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two children presented with skin lesions that clinically mimicked benign conditions like foreign body granulomas or intradermal nevi.
    • Despite the benign clinical appearance, histological examination confirmed the presence of basal cell carcinoma.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological analysis revealed typical features of basal cell carcinoma in both pediatric cases.
    • Both children underwent successful radical tumor treatment.

    Implications:

    • This case report highlights the importance of histological confirmation for suspected skin lesions in children, even if they appear benign.
    • Early and complete treatment of pediatric basal cell carcinoma can lead to favorable outcomes with no recurrence.
