Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma with Intravascular Invasion

Cureus. 2018 Oct 2;10(10):e3401. doi: 10.7759/cureus.3401.

Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy worldwide, but it very rarely metastasizes. Perineural invasion in basal cell carcinoma has been well documented in the literature, but evidence of intravascular invasion has rarely been reported. We describe a rare case of metatypical basal cell carcinoma with intravascular invasion and discuss the clinical management associated with this presentation. The patient was successfully treated with two stages of Mohs micrographic surgery.

Keywords: basal cell carcinoma; basosquamous; bcc; metatypical basal cell carcinoma.
