Successful Treatment of Unresectable L63*-Mutated Basal Cell Carcinoma Invading the Parietal Bone with Cisplatin and Fluorouracil: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer that rarely metastasizes but can deeply infiltrate local tissues. The small number of unresectable BCC cases makes it difficult to conduct clinical trials, resulting in delays in the development of effective drugs for BCC. Cancer gene panel testing has led to an increasing number of new treatment proposals for patients with solid tumors for whom no standard treatment is available.

CASE PRESENTATION

We described a case of unresectable L63*-mutated BCC invading the parietal bone, which was successfully treated with cisplatin and fluorouracil.

CONCLUSION

Our present case suggests that comprehensive mutation analysis by gene panel testing is important in advanced BCC because genes other than those involved in the hedgehog signaling pathway can be driver genes.
