This case report details a rare instance of basal cell carcinoma in a 17-year-old male, which later developed inguinal and pulmonary metastases. It highlights the need to confirm the existence and establish long-term follow-up protocols for such rare cancer occurrences.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Dermatology

Background:

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is typically a slow-growing skin cancer with a low metastatic potential.
Metastatic BCC is exceedingly rare, particularly in young patients.

Observation:

A 17-year-old male patient was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma.
Five years post-diagnosis, the patient presented with inguinal and pulmonary metastases.

Findings:

This case presents a rare occurrence of advanced basal cell carcinoma with distant metastases in a young adult.
The development of metastases raises questions regarding the diagnostic criteria and biological behavior of BCC in adolescents.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering rare presentations of basal cell carcinoma, even in young individuals.

Further research is needed to understand the factors contributing to metastasis in adolescent BCC and to define optimal long-term surveillance strategies.
