Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. Metastatic BCC is an extraordinary rare finding observed in only 0.5% of all cases. Until the introduction of the small molecule hedgehog inhibitor vismodegib, patients with metastatic BCC were treated with chemotherapy, most frequently platinum-based with mixed responses to therapy. We present the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian man who suffered from BCC on his left arm with lymph node and pulmonary metastases. Sonic hedgehog blockade with vismodegib only induced a short remission, and the patient succumbed to the cancer.
基底细胞癌(BCC)是最常见的皮肤癌。转移性基底细胞癌极为罕见,仅在所有病例的0.5%中出现。在小分子刺猬信号通路抑制剂维莫德吉问世之前,转移性基底细胞癌患者接受化疗,最常用的是铂类化疗,治疗反应不一。我们报告一例55岁的白种男性患者,其左臂患有基底细胞癌并伴有淋巴结和肺转移。使用维莫德吉阻断刺猬信号通路仅诱导了短暂缓解,患者最终死于癌症。
