Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Linear basal cell carcinoma, a rare skin cancer variant, often shows unseen lateral spread. Mohs surgery revealed this hidden tumor growth in two patient cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human cancer.
  • Linear basal cell carcinoma (LBCC) is a rare morphologic subtype of BCC.

Observation:

  • Two cases of LBCC were treated with Mohs' micrographic surgery.
  • Clinical examination did not reveal the full extent of tumor involvement.

Findings:

  • Both cases demonstrated significant lateral spread of the tumor beyond the clinically apparent borders.
  • Mohs' micrographic surgery was crucial in identifying and removing the entire tumor depth and margins.

Implications:

  • LBCC may have a greater subclinical spread than typically recognized.
  • Accurate assessment of tumor margins with Mohs surgery is vital for effective LBCC treatment.
  • This highlights the importance of considering subclinical spread in rare BCC variants.
