Giant basal cell carcinoma of anterior chest wall reveals metastasis to lungs: A case report

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy in the world, and the incidence of pulmonary metastasis is exceedingly rare. We present a case of middle‐aged male with findings consistent with BCC with metastasis to the lungs managed with surgical resection and the use of targeted...
