An Unusual Case of Basal Cell Carcinoma with Lung and Endobronchial Metastasis

Recently, some cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with lung metastasis have been reported, but those involving simultaneous tracheal, bronchial, and lung metastases have been rarely reported. Here, we have reported a very unusual case of BCC with metastasis, presenting with lung nodules and endobro...

description Recently, some cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with lung metastasis have been reported, but those involving simultaneous tracheal, bronchial, and lung metastases have been rarely reported. Here, we have reported a very unusual case of BCC with metastasis, presenting with lung nodules and endobronchial lesions after two metastasectomies. Since BCC is a slow-growing cancer that rarely metastasizes to distant organs, tumor stage workup including radiological imaging has not been routinely performed in clinical practice. This case showed that BCC can metastasize to the lung, although the currently reported metastasis rate of BCC is extremely low.
