Summary
The basal cell carcinoma is a form of curable, tegumentary cancer which does not kill but, due to its infiltrative evolution,with
tissular destruction and its recurrency rate, it has a very bad cosmetic prognosis, with negative impact on the patient and
important costs. The approach treatment differs, depending on clinical characteristics, but also on the histological subtype.
We are presenting the case of a female patient with basal cell carcinoma which was approached by surgery followed by nonsurgical
treatment.
