A large, destructive basal cell carcinoma was surgically removed and treated with radiation. The patient experienced improved quality of life with no tumor progression or paralysis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) can rarely present as a large, destructive cutaneous malignancy.
  • Extensive BCC with vertebral involvement poses significant surgical and neurological challenges.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old female presented with a 27 cm destructive basal cell carcinoma on her back.
  • The tumor infiltrated vertebral bodies, encased the medullary cone, and spread into the retroperitoneum, causing early neurological deficits.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the extensive tumor was achieved.
  • Reconstruction involved two large rotation flaps.
  • Postoperative radiation therapy was administered.

Implications:

  • Aggressive surgical management combined with adjuvant radiation can be effective for advanced BCC.
  • Successful treatment can improve quality of life and prevent severe neurological complications like paraplegia.
