Small basal cell carcinomas of the trunk are usually regarded as relatively harmless. In contrast, large and ulcerating basal cell carcinomas may become a therapeutic challenge with a less favourable prognosis and high risk of recurrence. The development of mutilating giant basal cell carcinomas appears less due to the biological aggressive character of the tumors, but rather to the patients' attitude of neglect. The case of a 62-year-old patient, featuring such attitude, demonstrates how a common basal cell carcinoma of the trunk can grow over a period of years to a troublesome ulcerating tumor.
躯干的小基底细胞癌通常被认为相对无害。相比之下，大的、溃疡性基底细胞癌可能成为治疗难题，预后较差且复发风险高。致残性巨大基底细胞癌的发生似乎并非主要由于肿瘤的生物学侵袭性，而是患者的忽视态度所致。一名62岁患者的病例就体现了这种情况，表明躯干常见的基底细胞癌如何在数年内发展成一个棘手的溃疡性肿瘤。
