Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an extremely common malignancy; however, unlike other skin cancers, they very rarely metastasize. Here we present an unusual case of metatypical BCC of the eyelid which metastasized to the lung nine years after initial surgical treatment. We include a review of the literature regarding metastatic BCC and suggest that metatypical features in primary BCC should prompt careful patient monitoring and consideration of adjuvant treatment at the time of diagnosis.
基底细胞癌（BCC）是一种极为常见的恶性肿瘤；然而，与其他皮肤癌不同的是，它们极少发生转移。在此，我们报告一例罕见的眼睑异型性基底细胞癌病例，该病例在初次手术治疗九年后转移至肺部。我们纳入了关于转移性基底细胞癌的文献综述，并建议原发性基底细胞癌的异型性特征应促使在诊断时对患者进行仔细监测并考虑辅助治疗。
