ABSTRACT
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the skin. Most of the lesions are usually small, slow growing and rarely metastasize. However, giant basal cell carcinoma, which is defined as a lesion of more than 5 cm at its greatest diameter, is rare. Most giant basal cell carcinomas are of long duration, and neglect seems to be a major contribution to the development of giant basal cell carcinoma. Herein, we report a rare case of treating a recurrent giant basal cell carcinoma on the face of a Korean elderly woman with surgical excision.
