Neglected Basal Cell Skin Cancer
This skin cancer was neglected, but it does serve as a good example of what
can happen if Basal
cell skin cancers are not treated with some degree of respect. It
is rare to see a basal cell cancer of this size because most are treated long
before. Keep in mind that even though the risk for spread to other organs
is low, this is a cancer and does have uncontrolled growth. Cancer "roots"
can spread under the skin without visible appearance on the surface later
breaking down in a large ulcer. So if someone tells you "oh it's just a
little basal cell skin cancer you don't need treatment" think again.
