Abstract

Introduction. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer in Caucasians and one of the most frequent malignancies in general, especially in older adults. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent tumor developing on chronic leg ulceration, while BCC rarely occurs and is often misdiagnosed. In addition, since older adults commonly have coexisting chronic vein insufficiency, the ulcerated BCC is frequently mistaken as being of venous origin. Outlines of cases. We present five cases of BCC presenting as chronic venous ulcers. Conclusion. Long-lasting ulcers with no healing tendency must be considered malignant until proven otherwise. Knowing the characteristics of malignant ulceration may help in early detection and treatment.

基底细胞癌以慢性静脉溃疡表现和治疗——附5例报告

介绍。基底细胞癌(BCC)是白种人中最常见的非黑色素瘤皮肤癌，也是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一，尤其是在老年人中。鳞状细胞癌是慢性腿部溃疡中最常见的肿瘤，而基底细胞癌很少发生并且经常被误诊。此外，由于老年人通常同时存在慢性静脉功能不全，溃疡的BCC经常被误认为是静脉起源。案例概要。我们报告了5例以慢性静脉溃疡为表现的基底细胞癌。结论。没有愈合倾向的长期溃疡必须被认为是恶性的，直到证明不是这样。了解恶性溃疡的特点有助于早期发现和治疗。
