Giant keratinocyte tumors, in particular basal cell carcinomas of the scalp area, are a serious challenge for dermatosurgeons, oncologists, and maxillofacial and reconstructive surgeons. The scalp area is limited in terms of skin mobility, and its elasticity decreases with age. T...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a nonmelanocytic skin cancer (ie, an epithelial tumor) that arises from basal cells (ie, small, round cells found in the lower layer of the epidermis). The prognosis for patients with BCC is excellent, but if the disease is
