“…Therefore, most authors consider that all such reported cases are actually ulcerated BCC misdiagnosed as CLUVO 14,15 . There is only one previous unequivocal case including a negative prior biopsy 16 . The findings of our study confirm that this complication is very uncommon.…”

“…The findings of our study confirm that this complication is very uncommon. Some clinical characteristics may be suggestive of BCC in the setting of venous insufficiency: 16 multiple ulcers, atypical localization, discrepancy between a moderate chronic venous insufficiency and the severity of the ulcer, and a rather clean aspect contrasting with chronicity or progressive extension. Contrary to SCC, the prognosis of BCC arising on CLUVO is favourable.…”

Malignant transformation of chronic leg ulcers of vascular origin is mainly encountered in elderly patients and manifests as an abnormally vegetating lesion, which may be occasionally bilateral. Malignant transformation usually occurs towards well-differentiated SCC and only exceptionally towards BCC. The high death rate, especially in metastatic cases, is at least partly due to delay in diagnosis. Surgery remains the treatment of choice. Leg amputation should be considered in the most extensive cases.

Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma Originating in the Supra‐Parotid Region

This case illustrates that massive tumor size, ulceration, or history of multiple recurrences are not absolute prerequisites for metastatic BCC. It supports the hypothesis that tumor proximity to major lymphatic systems or large-caliber blood vessels may be of significance. BCCs originating in skin overlying the parotid gland have the potential to penetrate to a rich vascular and lymphatic plexus as well as compromise the integrity of the facial nerve. Early treatment of these neoplasms utilizing accurate methods of microscopic control appears warranted to prevent the serious consequences of recurrences and deep tissue involvement.

Metastasizing basal cell carcinoma originating in a stasis ulcer in a black woman

Abstract: A case of basal cell carcinoma originated in a long-standing stasis ulcer on the lower extremity and then metastasized to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the thigh. The literature on metastasizing basal cell carcinoma is reviewed.
