Whereas basal cell carcinoma usually is a slow-growing tumor of the head and neck region, we have observed, over a 20-year period, three large, unique basal cell tumors of the back that were distinctive and presented clinical and histologic problems in diagnosis. They commonly formed exophytic, vegetative, flesh-colored to red, sessile plaques up to 20

Giant Adenoid Basal Cell Carcinoma
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1994The giant adenoid basal cell carcinoma is an unusual skin tumor that has aggressive biological behavior and has been reported to exhibit geometric growth, deep invasion, and metastasis. A case of giant adenoid basal cell carcinoma is presented, with recommendations for diagnosis and treatment.

Sequential treatment of giant basal cell carcinomas
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2009Treatment of giant basal cell carcinomas (GBCC) can pose several challenges. In such instances, use of routine and recommended treatments for sporadic, average size basal cell carcinomas (BCC) is suboptimal, impractical and often leads to treatment failure.

Giant basal cell carcinomas (GBCCs) are a strange and aggressive variety of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs); they are characterized by deep tissue invasion, rapid growth, high risk of metastasis, and a poor prognosis. GBCCs represent 0.4%-1% of all BCCs. The pathogenesis of GBCC is sometimes linked to a spontaneous mutation in the PTCH gene, mapped to the

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the skin. The most important feature is its very slow growth rate. It takes many years to reach gigantic dimensions. Various syndromes have been defined in which basal cell carcinoma exists in multiple localizations in a single patient. A case of basal cell carcinoma with multiple localizations

Shoulder girdle resection for giant basal cell carcinoma
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1984Forequarter amputation may seem the only surgical option when a tumour of the scapula or its overlying soft tissues invades the bones of the shoulder joint. As illustrated in this case of giant basal cell carcinoma, shoulder girdle (Tikhor-Linberg) resection is occasionally, possible, thus preserving a functional arm.

Giant Fungating Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Scrotum
Urology, 2016We present an unusual case of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) arising from a non-sun-exposed area. The patient was 69-year-old male with an enlarging giant fungating mass protruding from his scrotum for which he did not seek medical treatment until recently. The mass did not involve the scrotum or epididymis and was confirmed on ultrasound.

Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Systemic Amyloidosis
The Journal of Dermatology, 1996AbstractA large basal cell carcinoma, 39 times 26 cm in size, is presented as second in size only to the largest basal cell carcinoma documented (40 times 30 cm), reported by Beck and co‐workers (1). A 61‐year‐old Japanese male visited our clinic with a huge ulcerating tumor on the back. He had hidden the tumor for the previous 30 years.

Immunohistochemical characterization of pleomorphic giant cells in basal cell carcinoma
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 1999Over 20 cases of basal cell carcinomas with pleomorphic giant cells of the mononuclear or multinucleate type have been described. The nature of these cellular and nuclear changes has not been elucidated. Some authors found that these cells have phagocytic properties and others reported an aneuploid DNA content.

Giant polypoid basal cell carcinoma.
Cutis, 1997Basal cell carcinomas may attain giant proportions due primarily to recurrence and neglect. Giant basal cell carcinomas (5 cm or more in diameter) are of four clinical subtypes: noduloulcerative, morpheaform, superficial, and polypoid. We report a patient with a typical polypoid lesion of fifteen years' duration on his shoulder.
