Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare disease in the pediatric population that usually presents in children with predisposing genetic conditions. It is often diagnosed on final pathology of an excisional biopsy, and the treatment may be delayed in younger populations because of a physician's low index of suspicion. Increased knowledge of BCC by pediatric caregivers would expedite definitive therapy for childhood BCC as well as any necessary evaluation by subspecialists for predisposing syndromes. We report 3 cases of BCC in pediatric patients and review the literature concerning BCC in children.
基底细胞癌(BCC)在儿科人群中是一种罕见疾病,通常发生于有遗传易感性疾病的儿童。它常通过切除活检的最终病理诊断,由于医生的怀疑指数较低,在较年轻人群中治疗可能会延迟。儿科护理人员对BCC的了解增加将加快儿童BCC的确定性治疗以及亚专科医生对易患综合征进行的任何必要评估。我们报告3例儿科患者的BCC病例,并回顾有关儿童BCC的文献。
