Atypically Located Basal Cell Carcinoma: Three Case Reports

Bazal hücreli karsinom (BHK) insanda en sık görülen malign tümördür. Deride herhangi bir yerde görülebilmekle birlikte, %80’den fazlası baş ve boyun gibi güneşe maruz kalan alanlarda ortaya çıkmaktadır. Gelişiminde kronik güneş ışığına maruziyet, ana etyolojik faktör olarak düşünülmektedir. Biz burada; bel bölgesinde, femur lateral bölgede ve perine bölgesinde olağan dışı yerleşim gösteren BHK’lı üç olgu sunduk. Hastaların öykülerinde bu bölgelerde BHK gelişimi açısından etyolojik herhangi bir predizpozan faktöre rastlanmamıştır. BHK’da metastaz riski çok nadir olmasına rağmen, tümör lokal agresif seyredebilir ve doku destrüksiyonuna neden olabilir. Bu nedenle; atipik lokalizyonlarda yerleşim gösteren lezyonlarda da BHK akla gelmesini vurgulamak amacıyla vakalarımız literatür eşliğinde tartışılarak sunulmaktadır.

Atypically Located Basal Cell Carcinoma: Three Case Reports

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor in humans. It can be seen anywhere in the skin, although more than 80% occurs in areas exposed to the sun, such as the head and neck. Chronic exposure to sunlight is thought to be the main etiological factor. Although the risk of metastasis in BCC is very low, the tumor may be locally aggressive and cause tissue destruction. We present three cases of BCC in atypical locations, the waist region, the lateral femoral region, and the perineal region. No predisposing factor in terms of etiology of BCC was encountered in these patients’ histories. We are presenting our cases, together with a discussion of the current literature, to emphasize that BCC should be considered even in atypically located lesions.
