Basal cell carcinoma of the nose with cervical lymph node metastasis

Bazal hücreli karsinoma en sık gözlenen kanser tiplerinden olmakla birlikte daha çok lokal nüks yapma eğilimindedir. Metastatik yayıhmı sık gözlenmez. Metastazla birlikte görülen bazal hücreli karsinom vakaları daha çok baş boyun bölgesinde olsa da burun lokalizasyonlu olanlarda daha nadir gözlenmektedir. İleri yaştaki hastalarda lenf noduna metastaz yapmış bazal hücreli karsinomanm tedavisi genel durumu açısından zor olmaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda, burunda bazal hücreli karsinoma tedavisi sonrası servikal lenf nodu metastazı gelişmiş ileri yaştaki bir hastanın radyoterapi ile tedavi ve takibi sunulmaktadır.

Servikal lenf nodu metastazı olan burun bazal hücreli karsinomu

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common types of cancer, and its natural history is one of local recurrence rather than metastatic spread. Although in patients with metastatic disease the most common location oi the primary BCC is the head and neck region, the primary BCC on the nose seems to be less prone to metastasize. The treatment of metastatic BCC of the lymph nodes in the older patient is a challenging problem. We report the treatment of the metastatic BCC of an aged patient with radiotherapy.
