Although basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, it rarely metastasizes. Metastatic basal cell carcinoma may, therefore, initially elude diagnosis and management. We describe the case of a patient with a metastatic basal cell carcinoma present in the lungs. The differential diagnosis of suspected metastatic lesions should include metastases from a cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, in addition to those from more commonly metastasizing carcinomas, especially in patients with a history of a large basal cell carcinoma that has involved the head and neck regions, and was refractory to treatment.
尽管基底细胞癌是最常见的皮肤癌,但它很少发生转移。因此,转移性基底细胞癌最初可能难以诊断和治疗。我们描述了一例肺部出现转移性基底细胞癌的患者病例。对于疑似转移性病变的鉴别诊断,除了更常见的转移性癌外,还应包括皮肤基底细胞癌的转移,特别是对于有累及头颈部且治疗难治的大型基底细胞癌病史的患者。
