“…Scattered individual reports of cases appeared in the literature until 1951, when Lattes and Kessler wrote a review of 20 cases 2 . Since that time, 113 cases of metastatic basal‐cell carcinoma have been documented 3–30 . It is likely that this number is low, as many cases go unreported and others are lost in the foreign literature, letters to the editor, or in obscure journals.…”

“…Basal‐cell carcinomas, due to their accessibility and the rarity of metastasis (2–4), have been extensively studied with various anti‐tumor agents (5–7). Topical 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) has produced tumor resolution most consistently (8–11).…”

Topical 5‐fluorouracil (ointment) is an effective, inexpensive and safe remedy for solar and actinic keratoses. This form of therapy also seems to be indicated for patients with multiple and recurrent epitheliomas that have not responded well to surgery and/or x‐ray therapy. It is important to keep in mind the occasional variability in the effective dosage and the rare occurrence of a prolonged disfiguring reaction to treatment.

In 93 reported cases of metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), 76 had spread through lymphatics or blood vessels. Two more cases are presented, bringing the total to 78. Metastasis to regional lymph nodes was the most frequent, followed in frequency by lungs, bones, and other organs. The size of the primary tumor, its site, its resistance to x-ray therapy, and the effects of radiation appeared to contribute to the occurrence of metastasis. However, in an appreciable number of cases, tumor dissemination was related to incomplete excision followed by immediate wound closure, particularly by grafting. It is recommended that wound grafting be delayed for at least six months after excision or large or recurrent BCC in order to assure complete removal.
