A Case of Super-giant Basal Cell Carcinoma Initially Diagnosed as Multiple Traumas [PDF]
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023 Summary:. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), which is relatively easy to diagnose in a clinical setting, is the most common malignant tumor in the skin. Conversely, a giant BCC, a tumor beyond 5 cm in diameter, is a rare disease.

Reappraisal of giant basal cell carcinoma: Clinical features and outcomes
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, 2020 Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a rare subgroup of basal cell carcinomas with a diameter of >5 cm. Current evidence about determining factors is conflicting, suggesting patient neglect, on the one hand, and biologically aggressive behaviour, on the other, with outcomes varying from clearance to death.
