Although basal cell carcinomas are the commonest malignant condition of the skin (Borel 1973) pulmonary metastases are rare; it appears that only 30 authenticated cases have been reported (Sakula 1977). A further case is described of a man aged 64 who presented severe dyspnoea and who for 12 years had harbored an untreated ulcerating lesion of the abdominal wall shown histologically to be a basal cell carcinoma. Chest radiography showed metastatic disease confirmed histologically to be identical to the ulcerating skin lesion. Unfortunately, because of the severe respiratory condition, no definitive treatment was indicated and the patient died of respiratory failure 2 weeks following discharge.
尽管基底细胞癌是皮肤最常见的恶性疾病（Borel，1973年），但其肺转移却很罕见；据报道，仅有30例经证实的病例（Sakula，1977年）。本文描述了另一例病例，一名64岁男性，出现严重呼吸困难，其腹壁有一处未治疗的溃疡性病变已存在12年，组织学检查显示为基底细胞癌。胸部X线检查显示有转移性疾病，组织学检查证实与溃疡性皮肤病变相同。不幸的是，由于严重的呼吸状况，未采取明确的治疗措施，患者在出院后2周死于呼吸衰竭。
