Reappraisal of giant basal cell carcinoma: Clinical features and outcomes

摘要

Background: Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a rare subgroup of basal cell carcinomas with a diameter of > 5 cm. Current evidence about determining factors is conflicting, suggesting patient neglect, on the one hand, and biologically aggressive behaviour, on the other, with outcomes varying from clearance to death. We aimed to clarify the natural history of GBCC and its response to treatment.
