Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Lateral Neck: A Case Study.

A giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a rare variant of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that is larger (>5 cm) and more aggressive. While BCC is usually surgically excised as a small, local tumor, cases of GBCC represent a considerable portion of BCC malignancies and mortality. The growth of GBCC is hypothesized to be multifactorial, and due to the successful treatment of BCC, available data is limited.
