Sclerodermiform basal cell carcinoma in an elderly woman

Abstract

The most commonly detected non-melacytic skin tumor in humans is "basal cell carcinoma". There are many clinical varieties of this tumor, some of which are quite rare. The attention of specialists is brought to the attention of a clinical observation of an elderly woman who was observed on an outpatient basis by a dermatologist with a rare form of basal cell carcinoma of the skin of the back. Of particular interest is a long history of the disease for about 15 years, the presence of a scar-like large lesion on the back of more than 11 cm in diameter, the absence of lymphadenopathy and weight loss, with a histologically confirmed sclerodema-like basalioma of the skin.
