Basal cell carcinoma: recurrence?

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a nonmelanocytic skin cancer (i.e., an epithelial tumor) that arises from basal cells. The prognosis for patients with BCC is excellent, but if the disease is allowed to progress, it can cause significant morbidity. Very few cases almost none have been reported to show metastasis. in this case report we describe an extremely rare case of recurrent BCC with metastasis.
