Abstract
The presence of two several skin lesions in the same patient is a rare occurrence in dermatological findings. The associations of malignant melanoma (MM) and giant basal cell carcinoma (BCC) within the same patient have only been described in few cases in the literature.1,6 Is there a common genetic origin? However, until now the pathogenesis of collision tumors existing of MM and BCC remains unclear. We, therefore, report a case of association of MM and BCC in the same patient.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
