Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is a common neoplasm usually considered benign. Rarely, distant metastases can involve organs such as the brain, lung, and bone. We report the case of a 41-year old man diagnosed with lung metastasis secondary to base cell carcinoma. Given that the development of metastasis is associated with short survival and the therapeutic arsenal is scarce, we emphasize the importance of long-term follow up of such patients.
皮肤基底细胞癌是一种常见的通常被认为是良性的肿瘤。很少见的是,远处转移可累及脑、肺和骨等器官。我们报告一例41岁男性被诊断为基底细胞癌继发肺转移的病例。鉴于转移的发生与生存期短相关且治疗手段有限,我们强调对此类患者进行长期随访的重要性。
