  • Title: Giant basal cell carcinoma with metastasis and secondary amyloidosis: report of case.
    Author: Beck HI, Andersen JA, Birkler NE, Ottosen PD.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1983; 63(6):564-7. PubMed ID: 6198857.
    Abstract:
    Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is a slow growing relatively benign tumor usually located on the head and neck. Although rare, metastasis to lymph nodes or parenchymatous organs has been reported previously (1-9). We wish to add another case of metastasizing basal cell carcinoma of the skin, which presented certain unique features only rarely reported (1), namely complicating amyloidosis in the kidneys, the lymph nodes, the spleen and probably in the intestinal canal.
