Abstract EN
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer.
Metastatic BCC is an extraordinary rare finding observed in only 0.5% of all cases.
Until the introduction of the small molecule hedgehog inhibitor vismodegib, patients with metastatic BCC were treated with chemotherapy, most frequently platinum-based with mixed responses to therapy.
We present the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian man who suffered from BCC on his left arm with lymph node and pulmonary metastases.
Sonic hedgehog blockade with vismodegib only induced a short remission, and the patient succumbed to the cancer.
