“…Complete surgical removal of the tumour has shown the most promising results in treating GBCCs, with 100% success rates thus far, and should be considered the primary treatment for such cases [ 2 – 5 ] .…”

“…GBCCs also have a higher mitotic rate and increased perineural invasion compared with conventional BCCs [1] . The risk of developing such giant tumours with atypical features (compared to the usual BCC) is unknown, but many such cases are associated with patient neglect, low socioeconomic status and immunosuppression [1,2] . Nevertheless, exophytic, mushroom-like GBCCs have rarely been reported in the literature with just one case observed [3] .…”

“…Nevertheless, exophytic, mushroom-like GBCCs have rarely been reported in the literature with just one case observed [3] . However, other exophytic tumours including soft fibromas and SCCs have been described [2][3][4] . Differentiation between such tumours is imperative due to the risk of metastasis and for implementation of a better management protocol.…”

Introduction: Giant basal cell carcinomas (GBCCs) are extremely rare and typically more aggressive than their predecessor subtype. GBCCs with mushroom-like morphology have rarely been reported, with only one other case identified in the literature. Here we present a unique case of a neglected giant mushroom-like BCC that was treated successfully. Case description: An 81-year-old male patient presented with a large ulcerative mass on his back. He had a medical history of chronic heart failure and atrial fibrillation, which were controlled with heart medication. During a routine visit to change the dressing of the lesion, the central pedunculated stalk underwent spontaneous haemorrhaging which led to massive blood loss. The patient was treated for shock and the lesion was completely excised under emergency surgery. The tumour was sent for histopathological assessment after complete surgical removal. Recovery was successful with good postoperative results and no recurrence was reported in the 12 months following discharge. Discussion: The patient was under long-standing anticoagulant therapy that contributed to the untimely rupture of the pedunculated lesion and led to spontaneous heavy haemorrhaging. Treatment for such giant lesions can be complex, especially in patients with co-morbid conditions. Careful assessment and early treatment are paramount for successful results. Conclusion: Complete removal of such lesions is very successful for treating GBCCs.

Mushroom like the growth of skin tumour is a rare phenomenon although described already in 1806 by Alibert, who focused on mycosis fungicides. We identified only four case reports in PUBMED database using the terms “mushroom-like growth” and “skin tumour”. We analysed our files and identified three elderly female patients (69 to 94 years old). Histological diagnosis was melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. All tumours could be completely removed by wide excision or delayed Mohs surgery. No metastatic spread was noted.
