“…The biologic behavior of BCC is that of a slow-growing tumor which is locally invasive, but confined to the dermis, allowing definitive surgical treatment with local excision or destruction. Similarly, vulvar BCC typically demonstrates a locally confined tumor (Breen et al, 1975;Mulayim et al, 2002;Asuman et al, 2008), but there is a pattern of local recurrence in up to 20% of cases which is thought to be a result of inadequate resection (De Giorgi et al, 2005;Pisani et al, 2006;Mulayim et al, 2002;Asuman et al, 2008). Metastatic disease is rare, on the order of 0.1% (Breen et al, 1975;Mulayim et al, 2002;Asuman et al, 2008).…”
