[A case of extensive basal cell epithelioma of the lumbosacral region treated by a combined method].

In a female patient aged 68 years an extensive basal cell carcinoma with a proliferating tumour in its central part was observed. In view of the age of the patient, the extent and location of the lesion, and refusal to undergo surgical treatment combined treatment was used, with radiotherapy (5900 R, 70-45 KV, 10 mA) and compresses of 5-fluorouracil. The tumour became flat and epithelialization developed.
