Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy and the most common human malignancy in general. Out of all basal cell carcinomas, giant basal cell carcinoma represents less than 1%. Only 10% of all basal cell carcinomas are located on the trunk and majority is located on the head and neck. We describe a patient with a exophytic giant basal cell carcinoma of the back size 8.5 x 8 x 6 cm, infiltrating skin 1.5 cm. Two years after the lesion has occurred, diagnosis was made by pathohistological analysis. The patent was treated surgically, by excision. Review of the literature that refers to giant basal cell carcinoma was carried out.

Bazocelularni karcinom je najčešći malignitet kože, a i najčešći malignitet u ljudi uopće. Od svih bazocelularnih karcinoma, veliki bazocelularni karcinom zauzima < 1%. Samo 10% velikih bazocelularnih karcinoma pojavljuje se na trupu, a većina je smještena na glavi i vratu. Prikazana je bolesnica s velikim egzofitičnim bazocelularnim karcinomom na leđima dimenzija 8,5 ´ 8 ´ 6 cm, koji je infiltrirao kožu 1,5 cm. Dijagnoza je postavljena patohistološkom analizom dvije godine nakon pojave lezije. Bolesnica je tretirana kirurški. Iznijeti su podaci iz literature, koji se odnose na veliki bazocelularni karcinom.
