A Case of Locally Invasive Basal Cell Epithelioma Presented as a Subcutaneous Mass / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Basal cell epithelioma(BCE) is the most common malignant tumor of the skin, and locally invasive neoplasm, rarely metastatic, yet capable of significant local destruction and disfigurement. Radiotherapy has been reported to have high local cure rate and good cosmetic results in the treatment of BCE, and therefore may be an alternative treatment when excision is not functionally or cosmetically feasible, especially in the high risk areas. We report a 73-year-old female with locally invasive BCE presented as a subcutaneous mass on the left nasolabial fold area.
