    A rare case of metastasizing basal cell carcinoma, initially a rodent ulcer, highlights the potential for aggressive tumor growth and spread. Inadequate X-ray treatment may have contributed to its advanced, invasive nature.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer.
    • While typically slow-growing and localized, rare cases of aggressive and metastatic BCC occur.
    • Understanding factors contributing to BCC metastasis is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a basal cell carcinoma that originated as a rodent ulcer 24 years prior.
    • Histological examination revealed both basal cell carcinoma and areas of squamous cell differentiation.
    • Autopsy demonstrated extensive metastasis to the lungs and paraaortal lymph nodes, with tumor invasion into the inferior vena cava.

    Findings:

    • The metastatic lesions were exclusively pure basal cell carcinoma.
    • The study discusses the phenomenon of 'epithelioma metatypique,' where tumors exhibit diverse histological features.

  • Insufficient X-ray treatment, potentially causing stromal injury, is suggested as a contributing factor to the tumor's progression and metastasis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of thorough and potentially aggressive treatment for even seemingly benign skin cancers.
    • It highlights the complex behavior of basal cell carcinoma and the need for vigilance in monitoring.
    • Further research into the role of treatment modalities and stromal interactions in BCC metastasis is warranted.
